Abstract

Breast angiosarcomas are rare mesenchymal tumors of vascular endothelial origin, they are most often radiation-induced, more rarely primary; and characterized by a particular clinical and radiological presentation, local recurrence has a poor prognosis.

We will report the case of a young patient, who presented with primary angiosarcoma of the breast, treated with conservative surgery, then revision surgery for early local recurrence, followed radiotherapy, and in whom we encountered diagnostic problems on the radiological and pathological level. We will discuss through this observation the clinical, radiological and pathological peculiarities of primary angiosarcomas of the breast.
