Resumo
Breast angiosarcoma is a rare disease occurring as primary tumour or secondary to lymphoedema or radiotherapy. The more frequent use of breast-conserving therapy and radiotherapy for breast carcinoma explains the increasing diagnosis of this neoplasm.We report the case of a radiation-induced breast angiosarcoma in a patient of 81 years old, occurring 10 years after conservative treatment of left breast cancer. The tumor debuts as a thickening of the skin that rapidly progresses to inf iltrating lesion. Tumor biopsy and histochemical study confirms the diagnosis of angiosarcoma. Mastectomy is performed. The patient is free of disease 4 months later.
