Abstract
Angiosarcoma of the skin of the chest wall or breast following radiation treatment after breast lumpectomy or mastectomy for breast carcinoma is a rare condition. The majority of cases of post radiation angiosarcoma occur in the upper extremities and are associated with edema. The latent period of postradiation angiosarcoma of chest wall or breast skin varies from 37 months to 13 years. Few cases are reported and most have high-grade angiosarcoma. The latent period in the case we are reporting was 21 months and the tumor histologically was low grade. The clinical history and histological findings are compared with cases found in a review of the literature.
