Angiosarcoma of the Scalp Presenting in Association WithBorderline Malignant Phyllodes Tumour of the Breast

[摘要] Phyllodes tumours and angiosarcoma are both rare mesenchymal tumours. There are no reports of their coexistence in theliterature except in families with germline p53 mutations. Here we report a case of an elderly woman who developed anextensive angiosarcoma of the scalp nearly 4 years after surgical removal of a borderline malignant phyllodes tumour of thebreast. The scalp lesion was initially thought more likely to be a metastasis of her first rare tumour than a second equally rareprimary tumour, but histologically this was not the case. The case and the literature are discussed.
