title: Aicardi syndrome, metastatic angiosarcoma of the leg, and scalp lipoma.
abstract: An infant girl with Aicardi syndrome, scalp lipomas, and angiosarcoma of a limb is reported. The cavernous hemangioma of the leg was benign when biopsied at age 5 months but became malignant at 11 months. Angiosarcoma caused multiple distant metastases which were evident at autopsy at age 19 months. This is the first case of Aicardi syndrome associated with lipoma and metastatic angiosarcoma.
