Angiosarcoma of the Breast: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract

Skin lesions in a post-radiated breast should always be considered as possible angiosarcoma even if they mimic a traumatic lesion. Early detection by excisional biopsy followed by a mastectomy is necessary because of the high numbers of relapse if locally treated and possible deadly metastasis. We present a case of a cutaneous angiosarcoma occurred at lumpectomy site in a patient with a history of breast cancer and radiation of the breast and provide a review of the literature.
