Angiosarcoma of the breast with report of unusual site of first metastasis

J Surg Oncol. 1990 Feb;43(2):125-30. doi: 10.1002/jso.2930430213.

Abstract

Angiosarcoma of the breast accounts for less than 1% of all primary breast lesions. It occurs at all ages, but more frequently in younger women than does primary breast carcinoma. It often has a rapidly progressive clinical course and, as in one of the reported cases, can present with unusual sites of metastases even after a long disease-free interval.
