Abstract
Angiosarcomas of the face and scalp are aggressive, malignant neoplasms that are associated with a pool prognosis. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy alone have failed to give satisfactory results in the treatment of this disease, so surgery continues to play the major role in its management. In this article we report on 3 patients with angiosarcoma of the face and scalp recently seen in our institution. The clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and prognosis are extensively reviewed from the recent literature. We conclude with a discussion of treatment options in the management of this disease, with emphasis on surgical management.
