Abstract
Angiosarcomas, which are endothelial in origin, make up less than 1% of all soft tissue sarcomas. For every million people in the United States, one will be diagnosed with an angiosarcoma. Most angiosarcomas are found in the breast, deep soft tissue of the head and neck, and skin, though they may rarely arise within other soft tissue sites. Epithelioid angiosarcomas represent a diagnostically challenging subset of angiosarcomas due to their non-specific imaging features, non-specific clinical presentation and rarity of the neoplasm. Epithelioid angiosarcomas should always be included in the differential diagnosis in patients with vascular neoplasms. Early detection combined with complete resection of the mass, as well as adjuvant therapy if possible, yields the highest favorable prognosis for patients with EAs.
