Angiosarcomas are rare but aggressive vascular cancers of endothelial cell origin. Characteristically, they have a high local recurrence rate and an early metastatic potential. They rarely migrate to the skeleton, and even more unlikely, they may originate in the bones of the face. We present a rare occurrence of a primary angiosarcoma of the mandible. This case highlights the scarce literature available and difficulties in diagnosing and managing this aggressive tumor.
血管肉瘤是罕见但侵袭性强的起源于内皮细胞的血管癌。其特点是局部复发率高且早期有转移潜能。它们很少转移至骨骼,更不可能起源于面部骨骼。我们报告一例罕见的下颌骨原发性血管肉瘤。该病例凸显了关于此疾病的文献稀缺以及诊断和治疗这种侵袭性肿瘤的困难。
