Angiosarcoma is a rare vascular malignant tumor most commonly seen on the scalp of elderly people. We report here two cases of angiosarcoma of the face in 74‐ and 75‐year‐old males. It is very unusual to find the development of an angiosarcoma with a rosacea on the face. To the best of our knowledge, only three such cases have been reported.
