Abstract

Breast sarcomas are histologically heterogeneous group of non-epithelial malignancies arising from mesenchymal tissue of the breast. Angiosarcoma of the breast constitutes 1% of all soft tissue tumors of the breast and primary angiosarcoma is an extremely rare entity with overall incidence of 0.05% of all malignant tumors of the breast. We report a case of primary angiosarcoma of the breast in a 30 years woman, with no previous radiotherapy, treated with breast conservation therapy.
