Abstract

Lip mucosal involvement is exceptional with only a few cases described in the literature, all in patients older than 60 years To our knowledge, this is the youngest patient ever reported.

Angiosarcoma of the scalp diagnosed by the presence of neck inflammation: a case report

“…3,5 The occurrence of this neoplasm in the oral cavity is extremely rare. 1,6,7 We describe a patient with an angiosarcoma of the scalp that was detected initially by a patient's complaint of neck swelling and tenderness. Although reports indicate that cancers of unknown primary origin can be diagnosed by cervical lymphnode metastasis, 8,9,10 this is the first case report in which angiosarcoma of the scalp was diagnosed in this manner.…”

“…1,2 Cutaneous angiosarcoma is the most common presentation of this neoplasm, which affects the facial skin and scalp regions. 3 Head and neck angiosarcoma is usually seen in patients older than 60 years of age, and slightly more often in males.…”

“…3 Head and neck angiosarcoma is usually seen in patients older than 60 years of age, and slightly more often in males. 1,3,4 The pathology usually follows an aggressive course, with progressive local invasion and early metastasis. 3 We describe a case of angiosarcoma of the scalp, presenting as neck inflammation.…”

F18-FDG PET/CT Scanning in Angiosarcoma: Report of Two Cases

“…Response to therapy is variable considering the differences in tumor size, degree of infiltration, histopathologic subtype and tumor differentiation. However, total excision still can be feasible and improve the survival when the tumor is diagnosed at an early stage (2,7). …”

“…They are generally localized in lower extremities or in solid organs. The etiopathogenesis is still unclear; however, there are some declared theories such as presence of chronic edematous extremity, underlying trauma and radiotherapy history (1,2,3,4,5). Angiosarcomas are aggressive tumors with poor prognosis, therefore, it is quite important to determine disease extension and detect local recurrence and/or distant metastases for appropriate therapy management.…”
