    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare malignant neoplasm.
    • This review examines a fatal case and existing literature on breast angiosarcoma.

    Observation:

    • Underdiagnosis and delayed treatment are significant challenges.
    • Contralateral breast involvement occurred in 21% of cases, sometimes preceding other metastatic signs.

    Findings:

    • The three-year survival rate for breast angiosarcoma is 38%, with a disease-free survival of only 14%.
    • Five-year disease-free survival has been reported in only five cases.
    • Axillary lymph node involvement is exceptionally rare.

    Implications:

    • Simple mastectomy is the recommended primary treatment.
  • Further research is needed to evaluate adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy efficacy.
  • Increased awareness of clinical and pathological features is essential for timely diagnosis and management.
