Abstract
Introduction: Angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare finding that accounts for less than 1% of breast malignancies and less than 5% of all sarcomas. It is categorized according to the etiology: de novo (primary) and therapy related (secondary). Case Report: This case report discusses the management of a patient (a 62-year-old female) who had primary breast angiosarcoma. Management of such a patient always merits a multidisciplinary team approach that involves the breast surgeons, oncologists, breast radiologists, and breast care nurses. Conclusion: The main conclusion from this case report is that frequent breast screening would be beneficial in order to diagnose malignancy at an early stage, especially in patients who have a family history as survival depends on the stage at which the disease is diagnosed. However, this disease has a very poor prognosis overall.
