===General===
{{Main|Angiosarcoma}}
*Malignant tumour - general has a poor prognosis.<ref name=pmid20537949>{{cite journal |author=Young RJ, Brown NJ, Reed MW, Hughes D, Woll PJ |title=Angiosarcoma |journal=Lancet Oncol |volume= |issue= |pages= |year=2010 |month=May |pmid=20537949 |doi=10.1016/S1470-2045(10)70023-1 |url=}}</ref>
 
Epidemiology:
*May arise secondary to chronic lymphedema related to [[invasive breast cancer|breast carcinoma]].
**Known as ''Stewart–Treves syndrome''.<ref name=pmid18753651>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Pincus | first1 = LB. | last2 = Fox | first2 = LP. | title = Images in clinical medicine.

*[[Hepatic angiosarcoma|Liver angiosarcoma]]s are associated with vinyl chloride exposure.<ref>{{Ref PCPBoD8|212}}</ref>
*Cutaneous angiosarcomas are classically seen on the head and neck of whites over 60 years old.<ref name=pmid>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Albores-Saavedra | first1 = J. | last2 = Schwartz | first2 = AM. | last3 = Henson | first3 = DE. | last4 = Kostun | first4 = L. | last5 = Hart | first5 = A. | last6 = Angeles-Albores | first6 = D. | last7 = Chablé-Montero | first7 = F. | title = Cutaneous angiosarcoma.

===Microscopic===
Features:
*Very many small capillaries of irregular shape lined with:
**Pleomorphic nuclei.
***May have hobnail morphology.
*Mitoses.
*Cytoplasmic vacuoles.
**Cells trying to form lumina - embryologic.
 
Notes:
*Epithelioid variant (with abundant cytoplasm & sheeting architecture) may resemble ''[[melanoma]]'' or ''[[hepatocellular carcinoma]]''.
 
DDx:
*[[Atypical vascular lesion]].
*[[Kaposi sarcoma]].
*Poorly differentiated carcinoma.
