Abstract
Malignant vascular tumors are rarely encountered and angiosarcoma which is the most common one in this group are seen less than 2% among all sarcomas. Breast angiosarcomas are clinically classified in 3 groups depending on primary breast angiosarcoma, chronic lymphedema, radiation therapy and mastectomy. A 51 year old female patient with primary breast angiosarcoma is presented in our study. Conclusively, primary breast angiosarcoma is a rare breast tumor. It has a bad prognosis and diagnosis is challenging.
