Oral angiosarcoma is a rare endothelial tumour that requires to be included as a differential diagnosis of several similar lesions due to its clinical presentation. We present a 66-year-old patient undergoing treatment for multiple digestive bleeding episodes, referred to the oral and maxillofacial surgery service of the Hospital de Carabineros de Santiago de Chile due to the presence of intraoral vascular lesions initially diagnosed as metastatic lesions of a gastrointestinal stromal tumour, with the final histopathological diagnosis being an aggressive and disseminated angiosarcoma. The clinical presentation of these lesions makes the diagnosis and, consequently, the management of this type of patient difficult.

Keywords : Oral cavity; angiosarcoma; vascular tumors.
