Abstract

Angiosarcoma is a tumour of endothelial origin rarely found in the head and neck. A case of angiosarcoma of the pyriform sinus, treated by surgery and post-operative radiotherapy, is reported, providing a cue for discussion of the diagnostic, clinical and pathological pecularities of the tumour in the light of personal experience and the published data.
