Abstract
Introduction:
Angiosarcomas account for approximately 2% of all soft tissue sarcomas, and 804 cases of cutaneous angiosarcoma were reported in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry from 1973-2014. Cutaneous angiosarcoma can present on sun-damaged skin with a predilection for the head and neck and also can be seen in prior radiation sites or in cases of lymphedema. Although the clinical presentations are variable, ranging from purpuric patches to diffuse erythematous plaques with concurrent ulcerations, we report an unusual presentation of cutaneous angiosarcoma as hemifacial solid edema.
