Angiosarcoma of Anterior Mandibular Gingiva Showing Recurrence - A Case Report with Immunohistochemistry

Gingival Angiosarcoma: A Case Report and Clinicopathologic Review of 32 Cases of Primary Gingival Angiosarcoma

Angiosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm of mesenchymal origin arising from vascular endothelium and most commonly involves extremities. Gingival angiosarcoma is a rare sporadic occurring tumor. We report a case of primary angiosarcoma of gingiva along with a review of 31 cases of primary gingival angiosarcoma reported in literature till 2018. A 30-year-old lady presented with recurrent gingival swelling over central mandible. She had no palpable cervical lymphadenopathy. She underwent central marginal mandibulectomy. Final histological analysis with immunohistochemistry was suggestive of the angiosarcoma of the gingiva. She is 50 months postoperative and doing well.

Histologic and Immunopathologic Variability in Primary Intraoral Angiosarcoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

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.
