Résumé
Cutaneous angiosarcomas are rare soft tissue tumours originating from hematogenous vasculature that are aggressive and carry a poor prognosis. We describe the case of a 73-year-old man with a low-grade well-differentiated angiosarcoma. Our case distinguishes itself from those previously reported in the slow progression and important delay to the presentation of 30 months and survival time of 5.5 years. Additionally, its severe clinical appearance (T2 stage) but milder pathological picture (T1 stage) is very uncommon. A repeat biopsy is warranted when results are inconclusive and there is a high clinical suspicion of angiosarcoma.
