Development of cutaneous angiosarcoma after radiotherapy

Abstract

Angiosarcoma is a rare tumour, originated from the endothelial cells of small blood vessels. The disease may affect many organs, with the most frequently involved ones are skin, soft tissue, liver, spleen, heart and breast. Although there are lots of data to establish the relation between the ionizing radiation therapy and the development of sarcoma, a review of the recent literature did not reveal any development of angiosarcoma after radiotherapy which had been administered for lung cancer. In this report, development of cutaneous angiosarcoma 18 years after radiotherapy for lung cancer is presented.
