We report an angiosarcoma arising within a malignant endovascular papillary angioendothelioma (Dabska tumor) in soft tissue of the upper thigh/buttock of a 42-year-old woman. Although neoplastic progression within a vascular tumor of an existing low-grade lesion into DT has been described so far, we seem to be the first to report transformation of DT into an angiosarcoma.

D006390 Hemangioendothelioma A neoplasm derived from blood vessels, characterized by numerous prominent endothelial cells that occur singly, in aggregates, and as the lining of congeries of vascular tubes or channels. Hemangioendotheliomas are relatively rare and are of intermediate malignancy (between benign hemangiomas and conventional angiosarcomas). They affect men and women about equally and rarely develop in childhood.
