✦ Synopsis

ABSTRACT

Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a rare tumour of vascular origin, which has a poor prognosis because of its high potential for metastasis. We report the case of a 57‐year‐old man with an 8‐month history of a progressively enlarging, asymptomatic red patch over the left periorbital region of the face, previously diagnosed as angiolupoid leishmaniasis, insect‐bites, ‘cellulitis’ and treated with several topical antibiotic and steroid therapy, without any improvement. A skin biopsy of the lesion was performed and histological and immunohistochemical examination revealed a pattern of poorly differentiated angiosarcoma. The peculiarity of the localization at the periorbital area and the particular clinical presentation are emphasized.
