Abstract
- Angiosarcoma is a rare primary malignancy occurring anywhere in the body, but most often in the skin, liver or breast. The radiological findings of angiosarcoma of the breast have rarely been reported. We encountered a case in which the condition involved a 32-year-old woman in whom mammography revealed a obscuved-marginated and lobular-shaped high-density lesion, and ultrasonography demonstrated an ovalshaped, microlobular-marginated, inhomogenous hypoechoic mass which metastasized to the whole body after surgery. We report the radiological findings of this case of angiosarcoma of the breast, and review the literature.
