[Cutaneous angiosarcoma of the head: three cases].

Cutaneous angiosarcoma of the head is an uncommon finding. We report three cases, two women with a scalp localization and a man with a facial (frontal) localization. Recurrence was observed in one woman after surgery; this patient was given palliative treatment due to her poor health condition. The other women experienced three recurrences. After the last surgery, latissmus dorsi free flap graft, she has been disease free. The man was treated with surgery and radiotherapy. Regional lymph node metastasis appeared 5 years after the initial treatment. He is now disease free after surgery and cervical radiotherapy. Wide surgery and careful long-term follow-up are essential. The latissimus dorsi free flap can provide successful cure.
