Abstract
Wilson–Jones angiosarcoma is one of cutaneous angiosarcomas, which is a rare aggressive tumor of blood vessels of the skin. In this case report, we present a 72-year-old female who developed multiple episodes of facial edema of 2-year duration along with partial hair loss of the scalp. Investigations, including a skin biopsy, were diagnostic of scalp angiosarcoma.
