Breast angiosarcoma is a
malignant mesenchymal neoplasm, which accounts for approximately 2% of all soft
tissue sarcomas. Secondary breast angiosarcoma (SBA) may be related to chronic
lymphedema after a mastectomy with lymph node dissection (Stewart Treves
syndrome) and previous radiotherapy for complications from breast radiation
treatment. It is a very rare condition; therefore, diagnosis and management are
still a challenge.
