Pediatric cutaneous angiosarcoma of the scalp: Report of a rare case with literature review

Abstract

Abstract Cutaneous angiosarcomas are rare tumors, predominantly arising in the sun-exposed skin of head and neck in adults and elderly patients. Rarely, these tumors can be seen in children. We describe a rare example of angiosarcoma in an adolescent boy arising in the scalp region and with intracranial extension. Lack of any syndromic associations or radiation exposure lends rarity to this case. Its aggressive nature warrants an urgent diagnosis and institution of therapy.
