Summary

Angiosarcoma, a rare vascular tumor, can affect the eyelid. This case highlights the importance of considering it in eyelid lesion diagnosis and managing it with wide surgical excision.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Angiosarcomas are rare malignant vascular tumors.
  • They commonly affect the face and scalp.
  • Eyelid involvement is exceptionally rare, with only three prior reports.

Observation:

  • A case of angiosarcoma originating in the eyelid skin of a 79-year-old woman is presented.
  • The patient underwent wide surgical excision and staged defect reconstruction.
  • Metastatic disease was ruled out through systemic oncological work-up.

Findings:

  • The patient's angiosarcoma was treated with surgery alone.
  • Adjuvant therapies like chemotherapy and radiotherapy were considered but not administered due to unproven benefits.
  • The patient unfortunately passed away seven months post-presentation from a myocardial infarct.

Implications:

  • Angiosarcoma should be included in the differential diagnosis for atypical eyelid lesions.
  • Wide surgical excision is the primary treatment modality.
  • Adjuvant systemic therapy may be considered for select cases in consultation with an oncologist.
