Description

<p>A 66-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a pale reddish and tender nodule on his temporal scalp, which was first identified 2 months prior to his presentation. The nodule measured approximately 5 mm in diameter, was slightly elevated, flat-shaped, elastic, and hard without perinodular erythema or purpura.</p><p>Histopathological examination revealed spindle cell proliferation, several mitotic figures, a few irregular vascular channels with swollen endothelial cells, and hemorrhage. Immunostaining showed that the tumor cells were positive for CD31, Factor VIII-related antigen, and D2-40 stains. Based on these findings, the patient was diagnosed with angiosarcoma.</p><p>The nodule was removed with a 4-cm periosteal margin, and there has been no recurrence or metastasis following the surgery. Solitary nodular angiosarcoma without erythema and purpura is rare.[Skin Cancer (Japan) 2018 ; 33 : 40-44]</p>
