Successful treatment of primary cutaneous angiosarcoma of the nose with sequential chemo- and radiotherapy

Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a rare type of tumor that represents approximately 2% of all soft tissue sarcoma [1]. This tumor grows mainly on the scalp or the face of elderly males [2]. The prognosis is very poor with a 5-year survival rate from 12% to 31% and a median overall survival (OS) about 15 months [3], [4]. The optimal treatment is considered to be surgery with wide excision margin followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. Chemotherapy is usually used for metastatic disease. We want to present a successful strategy of treatment with chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
