title: Two cases of angiosarcoma of the face.
abstract: Angiosarcoma is a rare vascular malignant tumor most commonly seen on the scalp of elderly people. We report here two cases of angiosarcoma of the face in 74- and 75-year-old males. It is very unusual to find the development of an angiosarcoma with a rosacea on the face. To the best of our knowledge, only three such cases have been reported.
