A case of a haemodialysis patient with a primitive angiosarcoma of the alveolar mucosa is reported. The vascular origin of the tumor was confirmed by the immunohistochemical data which showed strong positivity for Factor VHI‐related antigen and for vimentin, whereas stains for desinin and cytokeratins were negative.
