Angiosarcomas constitute about 2% of all sarcomas and generally are the worst prognostic subtype of soft tissue sarcomas. Angiosarcomas are very aggressive tumors and one year after diagnosis half of the patients die with metastasis of lung, lymph nodes, bone and soft tissue. Diagnosis can be accurate with immunochemistry stain, such as for factor 8 related antigen, CD 31, CD 34 and von Villebrand factor. Our patient was a 61 year old woman who died four months after symptoms appeared with extensive metastasis. She was able to receive chemotherapy for only one coursve and after that treatment was changed to palliative.
