Abstract
Angiosarcoma is a rare type of soft-tissue sarcoma, constituting only 1% out of all soft-tissue sarcomas pathologically originating from lymphatic or vascular endothelial cells. Angiosarcomas are reported to be very aggressive with a high incidence of metastases to different sites; therefore, it is very important to determine disease extension and detect local recurrence and/or distant metastases for appropriate management. We report a case of a 55-year-old Indian male who presented with soft-tissue thickening of the left cheek for which biopsy revealed angiosarcoma and was referred for fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) to assess the extent of disease highlighting the potential role of FDG PET/CT in rare malignancies like angiosarcomas.
