Abstract
Angiosarcomas are collectively one of the rare forms of soft tissue neoplasms. That of the large intestine is much rarer. We report a case of large intestinal angiosarcoma. This is a case of a 30-year-old man who presented with intestinal obstruction, and after resection, it was histologically diagnosed as Angiosarcoma of large bowel.
Keywords: Angiosarcoma, rare, large intestine
