Introduction

Angiosarcomas are rare aggressive sarcomas of vascular endothelial origin. These tumours have the potential to be multicentric and are associated with high rates of local recurrence, which makes treatment challenging. The gold-standard is that these patients are managed in specialist centres by a multidisciplinary team. We present our experience of managing patients with angiosarcoma in the North of England Bone and Soft Tissue Tumour Service and a review of the literature.

Methods

A prospectively collated electronic database was used to identify patients with angiosarcoma treated between 2000 and 2008, and an analysis performed of demographics, anatomical site, surgical excision and reconstruction, local disease recurrence and metastatic disease.
