Cutaneous Angiosarcoma : Gross

Comments:
Gross Pathology: Cutaneous angiosarcomas are poorly-circumscribed, hemorrhagic, sponge-like or microcystic lesions. The overlying epidermis sometimes shows verrucous hyperplasia. The tumors extensively involve the dermis and may frequently invade the subcutis and fascia.
