Primary angiosarcomas (PAS) are rare tumors that constitute 0.04% of all malignant breast tumors. We report a case of a 40-year-old woman with a lump in the right breast and diagnosed as angiosarcoma by pathological evaluation. She underwent simple mastectomy followed by adjuvant radiation. She is alive and disease-free for 66 months although tumor size was large and one surgical margin was tumor positive. Breast angiosarcoma is often in advanced stage at diagnosis and tends to recur locally. Although surgical methods constitute the primary treatment, we believe that a multidisciplinary treatment strategy should be used in high-risk patients with large primary tumors and tumor positive margins.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSecondary angiosarcomaCutaneous angiosarcomaGradeBreastPrimary angiosarcomaRadiotherapySurgeryScience & technologyLife sciences & biomedicineOncologyOncologyArticle00057522170001129029416410.5152/ejbh.2020.4984
