Cutaneous Angiosarcoma Mimicking Masson's Tumor in an Elderly Male: A Diagnostic Challenge and Treatment Failure.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a rare tumor that may resemble other vascular lesions, such as Masson's tumor. It may present as asymptomatic nodules, patches, or plaques, which are most commonly seen in the central face, scalp, or neck. It is an aggressive cancer that originates from endothelial cells that line blood or lymphatic vessels, and since it may present similarly to other benign tumors, recognizing it is essential to prevent the risk of further growth and potential metastasis. This case report presents an elderly male with an asymptomatic facial lesion, initially diagnosed as Masson's tumor, but later recognized as cutaneous angiosarcoma. We present a previously healthy 82-year-old African male with a two-month history of an asymptomatic facial lesion. Examination revealed multifocal erythematous to violaceous nodular growths involving both cheeks, the nasal bridge, and the periocular regions. This case report emphasizes the importance of considering cutaneous angiosarcoma in elderly patients presenting with asymptomatic skin lesions.
