Resumen
El hemangiosarcoma cutáneo es una enfermedad maligna rara de origen vascular, y corresponde a menos del 1% de todas las malignidades y al 2% de todos los sarcomas de tejidos blandos. Su presentación usual es en el rostro y en la región del cuero cabelludo; al momento de diagnosticarse ya es una enfermedad avanzada. Afecta a menudo al anciano del género masculino y de raza blanca. El tratamiento oncológico se basa en la resección quirúrgica, la radioterapia y la quimioterapia, dado el alto riesgo tanto de recaída local como de diseminación hematológica con intención paliativa. Las tasas de control locorregional a 5 años son, aproximadamente, del 40% al 50%, las tasas de supervivencia libre de metástasis a distancia a 5 años están en el rango del 20% al 40%, y las tasas de supervivencia a 5 años se encuentran entre el 10% y el 30%.

Abstract
Cutaneous hemangiosarcoma is a rare malignant disease of vascular origin which accounts for less than 1% of all malignancies and 2% of all soft tissue sarcomas. It most frequently affects elderly white males, and is usually found on the face and scalp; at diagnosis it tends to be advanced. Oncologic treatment is based upon surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy due to the high risk of local relapse as well as to hematologic dissemination with palliative intention. Loco-regional control rates at 5 years range from 40% to 50%, metastasis-free survival rates at 5 years are from 20% to 40%, and survival rates at 5 years from 10% to 30%.
