Angiosarcoma of the scalp treated with Mohs micrographic surgery.
The idiopathic type of angiosarcoma most commonly occurs on the face and scalp of elderly persons. This rare tumor can be highly aggressive; however, if the diagnosis is made at an early stage, while the tumor is still localized and has a size that is less than 10 cm, surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We report a case whereby Mohs micrographic surgery was used to treat angiosarcoma of scalp.
