Abstract
Angiosarcoma a very aggressive tumor of the vascular endothelium with a different clinical presentation that have been shown between primary and secondary patterns, but both represented a diagnostics challenge because of the nonspecific imaging finding in disease. Secondary angiosarcoma which is still a rare neoplasm presented in female patient as a palpable unilateral mass after long term exposure to radiation therapy for breast cancer, final diagnosis needs a pathological report which is obtained post-surgical that’s why preoperative diagnosis by using imaging modalities and biopsy is important to avoid misdiagnosis to this rare neoplasm. We reported a special case of 61 female patient with secondary angiosarcoma arises near the scar of previous breast surgery due to invasive ductal carcinoma, patient was exposed to radiation therapy, chemotherapy and have positive family history.
