Angiosarcoma is a rare but aggressive malignant tumor of vascular endothelial cells accounting for1-2% of soft tissue sarcoma. Due to its rarity and heterogeneity in clinical presentation, delay indiagnosis and treatment is not uncommon. Hence, prognosis is usually guarded. Here we report acase of primary cutaneous angiosarcoma arising from the right cheek which progressed rapidly andresulted in perforation of buccal mucosa despite combination therapy of paclitaxel and propranolol.

Adult onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is a sporadic
complex autoinflammatory syndrome first described
in 1971.1 It is characterised by high spiking fever,
polyarthritis, sore throat, lymphadenopathy,
hepatosplenomegaly, serositis, and evanescent skin
eruptions.1,2 It is associated with life-threatening
complications too. Diagnosis of AOSD is laborious
as it requires extensive investigations to exclude
infections, autoimmune diseases and malignancy.
Here we illustrate a young female who exhibited a
turbulent presentation of ASOD.
