Introduction: A cutaneous angiosarcoma case with visible illness was treated with a modified lateral electron–photon technique (m-LEPT) that demonstrated a late but successful response to treatment.
Case presentation: A 74-year-old man presented after surgery with remnants of the tumor at the angiosarcoma bed, which did not stop growing.
Management and outcome: m-LEPT technique was developed and applied to optimize dosimetry of the scalp. Late complete response was achieved after a disheartening posttreatment clinical state.
Discussion: This is a rare and difficult-to-treat pathology, and hence case studies like this should encourage treatment despite poor early results.
