Abstract

A 41-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of a right mammary tumor. A tumor 1.5cm in diameter was palpated in the AD area of her right breast. Incisional biopsy was performed, and well differentiated angiosarcoma was diagnosed pathologically. Right quadrantectomy and axillary lymph nodes dissection were performed. Five years after the operation, she is living without recurrence.<br> Angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare disease and its prognosis is extremely poor. Therefore, in the treatment of this disease, the early diagnosis and consequent early operation are very important.
