Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a rare, highly malignant vascular tumor with three clinical types. It is predominantly seen in the white-skinned people and rarely dealt with among the colored races. Cutaneous angiosarcoma of head and neck of the elderly is a great mimicker with many clinical presentations. The condition needs to be differentiated from several other common conditions and the diagnosis may be extremely difficult in some cases. Herein, we report the case of a 65-year-old man with type 5 skin who presented with an unusual and extensive involvement of the scalp and face presenting a diagnostic challenge.
皮肤血管肉瘤是一种罕见的、高度恶性的血管肿瘤，有三种临床类型。它主要见于白种人，在有色人种中很少见。老年患者头颈部的皮肤血管肉瘤有多种临床表现，极易造成误诊。这种疾病需要与其他几种常见疾病相鉴别，在某些情况下诊断可能极其困难。在此，我们报告一例65岁、5型皮肤的男性患者，其头皮和面部出现异常广泛的病变，给诊断带来了挑战。
