Angiosarcoma is an unusual malignancy representing 1-2% of all soft tissues sarcomas. The etiopahogenesis is unclear but some risk factors have been described such us chronic lymphedema, radiation, environmental carcinogens and certain family syndromes. As imaging features are non-specific, the definitive diagnosis requires biopsy with inmunohistochemical techniques. Surgery is the unique curative treatment, but most patients with head and neck angiosarcoma are not suitable for surgical resection as they usually have metastasic disease at the moment of diagnosis.
