Excision yielded short-term control in rare cheek angiosarcoma; leaves open optimal multimodal strategies and long-term outcomes.
Angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignant tumor that has a poor prognosis. It represents less than 1% of all malignancies occurring in the oral cavity and salivary glands. We present a 35-year-old male with angiosarcoma of the cheek following traumatic injury and a review of the current literature.

Fomete et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Primary oral soft tissue angiosarcoma of the cheek (n=1). Surgical excision was evaluated on Clinical outcome (tumor removal and follow-up). Surgical excision of a primary angiosarcoma of the cheek in a 35-year-old male resulted in no obvious residual tumor at three months follow-up, though the patient declined further oncological treatment.
