Cutaneous angiosarcoma (CAS) is an aggressive tumour of vascular or lymphatic origin. Although relatively rare, it needs to be recognized and treated early. CAS typically arises on the head or neck as a bruise or raised purplish-red papule or plaque. However, it can sometimes resemble a benign skin lesion, leading to delay in diagnosis and consequent poor patient outcome. CAS may be mistaken for inflammatory, autoimmune or infectious disease, or for a benign skin tumour or post-traumatic lesion. We analyse the atypical clinical forms of this aggressive tumour and review the literature.
皮肤血管肉瘤（cutaneous angiosarcoma，CAS）是一种源自血管或淋巴管的侵袭性肿瘤。尽管 CAS 相对罕见，但仍需要早期识别和治疗。CAS 通常发生在头部或颈部，表现为瘀斑或隆起的紫红色丘疹或斑块。然而，它有时可能类似于良性皮肤病变，导致诊断延迟，进而导致患者预后不良。CAS 可能被误诊为炎症、自身免疫或感染性疾病，或良性皮肤肿瘤或创伤后病变。我们分析了这种侵袭性肿瘤的非典型临床表现，并复习了文献。
