Abstract
Six cases of angiosarcoma of the scalp are reported. The tumors are histologically indistinguishable from the "postmastectomy" lymphangiosarcomas reported by Stewart and Treves. With a single exception they were extensive, aggressive neoplasms that widely infiltrated the dermis and soft tissues. Although these tumors are rare malignancies of the skin, there appears to be a peculiar, unexplained predilection for the scalp.
