title: [A case of angiosarcoma of the outer ear].
abstract: Angiosarcoma of the ear is a very rare and locally aggressive malignant tumor. It accounts for 4-5% of cutaneous sarcomas and less than 1% of all sarcomas. Our study aims to describe and discuss diagnostic and therapeutic modalities of this malignancy. We report the clinical case of a 31 year old patient with bulging mass of the pavilion of the left ear. CT scan was in favor of tumor of the pavilion of the ear invading ipsilateral parotid. Histological diagnosis was in favor of angiosarcoma. The treatment consisted of complete surgical resection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. She is in complete remission with a follow-up period of 1 year.
