Abstract:
Three cases of angiosarcoma of the breast after lumpectomy and radiation therapy for adenocarcinoma are presented. Only two similar cases have been documented. The role of radiation therapy and chronic lymphedema is discussed. Although the overall survival is usually less than 22 months, two of these patients are still alive after 2 years.
