Abstract

The breast angiosarcoma is a rare but dreadful complication of radiation therapy. It has a very poor prognosis due to the frequent occurrence of visceral metastases and rapid recurrence. In this article, we report the case of a breast angiosarcoma occurring four years after conservative treatment of breast cancer and then recurring on a mastectomy scar. We will discuss the etiopathogenesis of this tumor and their clinical and therapeutic aspects.
