Scalp angiosarcoma is associated with worse survival compared to facial angiosarcoma, potentially due to delayed detection and larger size at presentation.

Abstract

Scalp angiosarcoma has worse survival than angiosarcoma of the face. Scalp angiosarcoma tends to be larger at presentation, which may be because it is not noticed until more advanced. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 39: 1205-1211, 2017.
