Angiosarcoma involving the face and scalp of elderly patients is a rare subtype, it affects more commonly men than women and it is discretely more prevalent in Caucasian patients. The treatment of choice is extensive surgical excision, with radiotherapy and chemotherapy being therapeutic options, depending on the patient’s age and local extent. The present case report is a patient with extensive angiosarcoma of head and neck, of rapid evolution, having opted for chemotherapy treatment, due to extension of the condition.
