This case report details a rare angiosarcoma of the nose in a 70-year-old male. Surgical removal was successful for this low-grade vascular tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Angiosarcomas are rare, aggressive vascular tumors.
  • Commonly found on sun-exposed skin, in lymphoedema, or post-radiation.
  • Prognosis is often poor, requiring aggressive treatment.

Observation:

  • A 70-year-old male presented with a rapidly growing, blueish, bleeding nasal tumor.
  • Initial treatment with antibiotics was ineffective.
  • Biopsy confirmed angiosarcoma of the nose after 4 months.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent surgical resection (ablatio nasi).
  • Histological diagnosis revealed a low-grade angiosarcoma of nasal cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue.
  • No bone or cartilage infiltration was observed, confirmed by immunohistology.

Implications:

  • Nasal angiosarcomas are exceptionally rare, especially those involving the entire nose.
  • This case highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and surgical intervention.
  • Further discussion on prognosis, therapy, and differential diagnosis is warranted.
