Abstract
Breast angiosarcoma is a rare conjunctival tumor of vascular endothelial origin, primary in young patients, radio-induced in the elderly, characterized by its malignancy and by its polymorphic clinical and radiological presentation; it has a very poor prognosis, the frequent occurrence of visceral metastases and rapid recurrence. We report a case of breast angiosarcoma, in a 56 year old patient, with a history of breast cancer, treated by conservative surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. We will discuss through this observation, the epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this type of rare aggressive tumors.
