Abstract
Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor of vascular or lymphatic origin and represents less than 1% of all malignant tumors. Radiation therapy is a standard treatment in many head and neck cancer cases, but ionizing radiation is associated with radiation carcinogenesis including radiation-induced angiosarcoma. In this article, we report a rare case of radiation-induced angiosarcoma found in a 58-year-old female patient who was previously diagnosed with an odontogenic keratocyst and mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

Head Neck Pathol 2020; 14:1139-1148. [PMID: 32026293 PMCID: PMC7669916 DOI: 10.1007/s12105-020-01134-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2019] [Accepted: 01/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Primary intraoral angiosarcoma is an exceptionally rare malignancy of vascular origin which can be challenging to diagnose due to microscopic and immunohistochemical variability. A histopathologically challenging case of primary intraoral angiosarcoma, occurring in a pediatric patient is presented. A comprehensive review of the literature reveals that primary intraoral angiosarcomas occur with nearly equal frequency in males and females, affect the gingiva and the tongue most commonly and are treated primarily with surgery. As with angiosarcoma in other sites, primary intraoral angiosarcoma behaves aggressively with the majority of patients succumbing to their disease.

Abstract
Angiosarcoma is a malignant vascular tumor derived from the mesenchymal cells which have undergone an angioblastic differentiation. About half of the angiosarcomas are reported to localize in the skin and soft tissues of the head and neck, i.e., found predominantly to arise from the scalp and face. Angiosarcomas rarely involve the skeletal system, wherein they generally have a tendency for multicentricity. Primary bony angiosarcoma accounts for about 6% of all the angiosarcomas and about 1.4% of all the primary bony sarcomas. A majority of angiosarcomas are reported to occur in the elderly males; its occurrence in the pediatric population is extraordinarily rare. We report a rare case of a solitary primary intraosseous mandibular angiosarcoma in a 7-year-old male child. The unique clinical presentation, the histopathological features along with the management challenges of this fascinating yet aggressive tumor is discussed.
