A 70-year-old female with a solitary lesion on the nose was initially diagnosed as actinic keratosis. However, when the recurring lesion at the same region within 6 months was reexcised, the histological diagnosis was definitively established as well-differentiated angiosarcoma. This case was presented in order to increase awareness of this rare malignancy in an uncommon localisation, especially in the light of pathological findings. Moreover, occurrence of cutaneous angiosarcoma within a short period following a previous excision in a patient with a history of multiple nonmelanoma skin cancers was interestingly pointed out.&nbsp;</p><p dir="LTR" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #00adef; font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #00adef; font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #00adef; font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: xx-small;"><strong>Keywords: </strong></span></span></span><em><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: xx-small;"> <span lang="TR">angiosarcoma; face; nonmelanoma skin cancers.</span></span></span></em></p><p dir="LTR" align="CENTER">&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p> ER -
