MAID（Mesna, Adriamycin, Ifosfamide, Dacarbazine）Combination Chemotherapy in a Patient with Angiosarcoma of the Skin

Abstract

We report a case of angiosarcoma treated with combination chemotherapy（MAID：mesna, adriamycin, ifosfamide, dacarbazine）．A 67-year-old man presented with an ulcerated, dark-red nodule and erythematous plaques on the scalp and upper left face. A skin biopsy of the lesion confirmed angiosarcoma. He was treated with MAID combination chemotherapy every 3 weeks due to unresectable tumor. After completing the fifth cycle, the lesion was decreased in size. MAID combination chemotherapy may offer a promising treatment option for angiosarcoma. Further investigations are necessary to confirm the efficacy of MAID combination chemotherapy for angiosarcoma.
