Resumen
OLIVEIRA, Mariline et al. Secondary breast angiosarcoma - A consequence of breast conservative surgery?. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.4, pp.388-390. Epub 31-Dic-2021. ISSN 1646-5830.
Breast angiosarcoma is an aggressive malignancy with a high recurrence rate and poor overall survival. It is the type of sarcoma most related with previous radiotherapy. The diagnosis is still a challenge because of the long latency period until its development and also because of its subtle and apparently benign presentation. There is still lack of evidence about treatment. We report a case of a 69 year-old women, who has had breast-conserving surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy after a breast invasive carcinoma, and developed a high grade angiosarcoma nine years after the first diagnosis.
