What is Angiosarcoma?

Angiosarcoma is a type of cancer.  This type of cancer is one that lines blood vessels or lymph vessels.  Another word that you might here associated with this is hemangiosarcoma if it is associated with blood vessels and lymphangiosarcoma if it is associated with Lymph vessels.


Hemangiosarcoma is a rare, rapidly growing, highly invasive variety of cancer. It is a blood-fed sarcoma; that is, blood vessels grow directly into the tumor and it is typically filled with blood. A frequent cause of death is the rupturing of this tumor, causing the victim to rapidly bleed to death.
