520 _aABSTRACT: Angiosarcoma is a rare oncologic disease that affects the lining of blood vessels and lymph vessels. It can occur in any part of the body but it mostly affects the skin.1 It presents as bruised, purplish area of the skin. They grow larger in time and the skin around the area can bruise as well. It is diagnosed through imaging scans and confirmed through biopsy and immunohistochemistry stains. It can be misdiagnosed as other oncologic diseases that present with masses as well. For this paper, it aims to present a 58-year-old male whose initial complaint was generalized body weakness accompanied with multiple masses on his nape, scalp, left eye, abdomen and chest. The positive immunohistochemical result of Ki-67 antigen (30-9), CD 31 (JC70)/ (JC70 A), CD34 endothelium (OBEnd/10) was confirmatory and led to the initiation of chemotherapy instead of removal of the masses. This paper aims to discuss the approach and management of patients with angiosarcoma and its chemotherapy protocol. OBJECTIVES: 1. To present a case of a 58-year-old male diagnosed with Angiosarcoma. 2. To discuss the incidence, clinical presentation of Angiosarcoma. 3. To discuss the management of Angiosarcoma on our patient.
