El angiosarcoma es un tipo de cáncer que se origina en la capa más interna - endotelio - de los vasos sanguíneos, o vasos linfáticos, de cualquier tejido del organismo. Es una variedad de sarcoma poco frecuente que representa el 2% del total de sarcomas extirpados. Aparece con más frecuencia en áreas de la cabeza, cuello, mama - sobre todo después de radiación sobre el órgano -, hueso, hígado y bazo. En el 30% de los casos el tumor se origina en la piel. El angiosarcoma es un tumor maligno agresivo y de rápido crecimiento que tiene la particularidad de tender a reproducirse en el mismo lugar en el que se ha extirpado, por ello la cirugía no siempre es satisfactoria y se suele complementar con tratamientos de quimioterapia o radioterapia.
