Case Reports[Cutaneous angiosarcoma of the head: three cases].
Cutaneous angiosarcoma of the head is an uncommon finding. We report three cases, two women with a scalp localization and a man with a facial (frontal) localization. Recurrence was observed in one woman after surgery; this patient was given palliative treatment due to her poor health condition. ⋯ He is now disease free after surgery and cervical radiotherapy. Wide surgery and careful long-term follow-up are essential. The latissimus dorsi free flap can provide successful cure.
