Recognize potential deep infiltration in scalp angiosarcomas; leaves open optimal management strategies for this rare entity.
Six cases of angiosarcoma of the scalp are reported. The tumors are histologically indistinguishable from the "postmastectomy" lymphangiosarcomas reported by Stewart and Treves. With a single exception they were extensive, aggressive neoplasms that widely infiltrated the dermis and soft tissues. Although these tumors are rare malignancies of the skin, there appears to be a peculiar, unexplained predilection for the scalp.
