Abstract

Angiosarcoma of the scalp is an aggressive tumor with a high rate of local recurrence and distant metastasis. We present two cases of metastasis in parotid region at the time of one year after radical surgery of scalp angiosarcoma. It is suggested that regional lymph nodes should be treated more aggressively at the first treatment, which may achieve better results or, at least, prolong the time to local recurrence and distant metastasis.
