Abstract:
Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a rare, highly malignant vascular tumor. More than 50% of them arelocalized to the skin of the head and neck regions.It usually present as nodules with ulceration, plaques,or bruise-like lesions. However, the clinical features may vary. We reported this case due to its atypicalclinical presentation, which presented with rhinophyma-like features, making it a diagnostic challengeto the clinicians.
