  • Title: Secondary angiosarcoma of the breast: can imaging findings aid in the diagnosis?
    Author: Moore A, Hendon A, Hester M, Samayoa L.
    Journal: Breast J; 2008; 14(3):293-8. PubMed ID: 18476885.
    Abstract:
    Secondary angiosarcomas, although rare, are aggressive tumors that can develop in breast tissue that has undergone prior radiation therapy. We present three cases of secondary angiosarcoma of the breast in the setting of prior breast irradiation. Imaging findings include cutaneous nodules and progressive skin or trabecular thickening in an area of the breast separate from the patient's original breast carcinoma. These imaging findings may enable the radiologist to suggest this diagnosis, even when the clinical presentation is more benign.
