Abstract
Angiosarcoma accounts for 1-2% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Common sites of occurrence include the skin, breast, soft tissue, and liver. Angiosarcoma of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is very rare. We herein present a case of a 41-year-old woman with lymphangiosarcoma of the small intestine occurring 7 years after pelvic radiotherapy for uterine cervical cancer.
