Abstract
A patient with a soft tissue forearm mass had the customary surgical a pproach for excision. A biopsy specimen at that time showed angiosarco ma, and the mass was left in situ. Subsequent imaging with computed to mography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, and angiography demonstrated the usefulness and limitations of these modalities. Exci sional surgery and radiation therapy were then done.
