Angiosarcoma cutáneo en la región nasal tratado con radioterapia: reporte de caso

2018 
Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a rare tumor with a tendency to be located in the head and neck especially on the scalp and face. It is considered a rapidly growing tumor and often causes distant metastases. The treatment of this tumor is not clearly defined and is based on retrospective studiesand case reports, still seems the best option handling surgery with wide local excision and possibly with negative margins and subsequently adjuvant radiotherapy due to the high rate relapse presented by these tumors. We report the case of a patient of 91 years who received exclusive management with radiotherapy hypofractionated presenting complete response at 3 months after completion and remaining free of disease until the date of this report, 16 months after radiotherapy.
