Summary

Mammary angiosarcoma, a rare cancer, often presents as a palpable mass. Higher-grade lesions correlate with abnormal mammograms and increased recurrence risk.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Mammary angiosarcoma is a rare malignant vascular tumor of the breast.
  • Early diagnosis and understanding of imaging features are crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical presentation, mammographic, and ultrasound findings of mammary angiosarcoma.
  • To correlate clinicopathologic features with imaging findings and disease recurrence.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of medical records for 29 women diagnosed with mammary angiosarcoma between 1966 and 1991.
  • Analysis of mammographic, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.
  • Correlation of histopathologic grade with imaging characteristics and recurrence.

Main Results:

  • All patients presented with a palpable mass; 17% had bluish skin discoloration.
  • Mammography revealed a mass in 67% of cases, with 33% showing no findings.
  • Higher-grade tumors were significantly associated with abnormal mammograms (P < .05) and recurrent disease.

Conclusions:

  • Mammary angiosarcoma diagnosis relies on clinical presentation and imaging, though mammography can be normal.
  • Histopathologic grade is a key predictor of imaging abnormalities and disease recurrence in mammary angiosarcoma.
