Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a very aggressive tumor with poor prognosis. We report a case of cutaneous angiosarcoma in a patient with elephantiasis. To the best of our knowledge, there are very few cases reported in the literature. As there is no ideal treatment for cutaneous angiosarcoma, early detection can lower the morbidity and mortality from this malignancy.
皮肤血管肉瘤是一种侵袭性很强、预后很差的肿瘤。我们报告了一例患有象皮病的患者发生皮肤血管肉瘤的病例。据我们所知,文献中报道的此类病例非常少。由于目前尚无针对皮肤血管肉瘤的理想治疗方法,早期检测可降低这种恶性肿瘤的发病率和死亡率。
