Abstract

Angiosarcoma (AS) is a rare aggressive sarcoma that occurs mostly in the skin of the head and neck in the elderly population. AS of the scalp is associated with high rates of local recurrence and a poor prognosis. Patients with typical presenting symptoms can be diagnosed clinically, but the precise pathological diagnosis should be performed by an expert pathologist. Angiosarcoma requires aggressive and comprehensive treatment by a multidisciplinary team, because a multimodal approach improves survival. The mainstay of treatment is surgical resection and adjuvant radiation therapy, but failure rates following local therapy are high. The chemotherapy is used in cases of metastatic or unresectable scalp angiosarcoma. We describe the case of a 38-year-old woman who presented with lesions nodular on the scalp. The biopsy with histological study demonstrated an angiosarcoma. A computed tomography scan revealed multiple pulmonary metastasis, she received intravenous paclitaxel, the scalp and lung lesions significantly diminished after 3 month of treatment.
头皮皮肤血管肉瘤1例报告及文献复习
血管肉瘤(AS)是一种罕见的侵袭性肉瘤,主要发生在老年人的头颈部皮肤。头皮AS与局部复发率高和预后差有关。具有典型表现症状的患者可以在临床上得到诊断,但准确的病理诊断需要由病理学专家进行。血管肉瘤需要多学科团队的积极和综合治疗,因为多模式治疗可提高生存率。主要的治疗方法是手术切除和辅助放射治疗,但局部治疗后的失败率很高。化疗用于转移性或不可切除的头皮血管肉瘤。我们描述的情况下,一个38岁的妇女谁提出病变结节的头皮。活检和组织学检查显示为血管肉瘤。计算机断层扫描显示多发肺转移,静脉注射紫杉醇,治疗3个月后,头皮和肺部病变明显缩小。
