  • Title: Angiosarcoma of the breast occurring soon after lumpectomy and breast irradiation for infiltrating ductal carcinoma: a case report.
    Author: Deutsch M, Safyan E.
    Journal: Am J Clin Oncol; 2003 Oct; 26(5):471-2. PubMed ID: 14528072.
    Abstract:
    Angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare second malignancy after breast irradiation for carcinoma. As with most radiotherapy-associated malignancies, the usual latent period after radiotherapy is many years. The authors present a case of angiosarcoma appearing in the breast 14 months after breast irradiation after lumpectomy and axillary node dissection for infiltrating ductal carcinoma.
