Abstract:
Angiosarcoma is a rare, malignant vascular endothelium neoplasm with poor prognosis. Cutaneousangiosarcoma makes up a majority of its presentation. Diagnosis is often delayed due to the nature ofits clinical presentation. We report 3 cases of cutaneous angiosarcoma to focus on the importance ofbiopsy site selection in securing the histopathological diagnosis.
