BACKGROUND: Generally, sarcomas of the female genital tract are rare and angiosarcomas are extremely rare. They usually have poor prognosis and pose serious diagnostic challenges requiring special techniques namely special stains and immunohistochemistry for proper elucidation.
METHOD: A case report of a 65 old para 8 (4 alive) widow, 17 years postmenopusal, who presented with history of foul smelling brownish vaginal discharge, progressive weight loss and cervical lesion. She had examination under anaesthesia and biopsy.
RESULT: Histopathological result showed features in keeping with angiosarcoma of the uterine cervix.
CONCLUSION: Although angiosarcoma of the cervix is very rare, it is occasionally seen in black women in Nigeria.
