[Angiosarcoma of the breast. Radiological aspects. About one case]

Area of Science:

• Oncology
• Radiology
• Pathology

Background:

• Angiosarcoma of the breast is an exceptionally rare malignancy.
• This report presents a well-documented case in a 23-year-old female.

Observation:

• The patient presented with a large, painful, purplish left breast mass with palpable thrill.
• Mammography showed increased density, ultrasound revealed a hypoechogenic mass with venous blood flow.
• Angioscanner demonstrated peripheral enhancement with centripetal contrast diffusion; MRI showed bleeding areas.

Findings:

• Histopathology confirmed angiosarcoma after mastectomy.
• Radiological findings, including vascular enhancement patterns, were analyzed in context of literature.

Implications:

• Highlights the importance of advanced imaging in diagnosing rare breast tumors.
• Emphasizes the aggressive nature and poor prognosis of breast angiosarcoma.
• Contributes to the understanding of radiological features of breast angiosarcoma.
