“…Fifty percent of all angiosarcomas involve the skin of the head and neck, whereas auricular involvement is very rare. To our knowledge, only 7 cases of auricular angiosarcoma, including the present case, have been reported (Table 1 ) [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. The patients comprised 4 males and 3 females, with a wide age range (31–90 years).…”

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder characterized by photosensitivity and an increased risk of developing multiple skin neoplasms at sites exposed to the sun. We report a 73-year-old Japanese man with angiosarcoma of the auricle and an XP-variant, which is a very rare condition. In this case, long-term physical stimulation due to auricular deformation after surgery may have been the cause. Angiosarcoma associated with XP has a better prognosis than common angiosarcoma, perhaps because of the smaller tumor size. As XP patients are at high risk of skin neoplasms, they consult dermatologists regularly, and therefore skin tumors are likely to be detected early.

“…Angiosarcomas are most commonly diagnosed in elderly Caucasians, and lesions typically involve the head and neck region 1 . Cutaneous involvement of the external ear is very rare 3, 4. Aggressive angiosarcoma involving the ear represents a challenging surgical scenario and may require extensive surgical resection to obtain negative tissue margins, as demonstrated in this case.…”
