Abstract EN
Radiation-induced sarcoma of the breast is an iatrogenic malignancy that occurs secondary to radiotherapy, which is most commonly given following breast conservation surgery.
It has an incidence of 3.2 per 1,000 patients at 15 years and is associated with a poor prognosis.
We report a 62-year-old female with a history of bilateral breast conservation surgery and radiotherapy 5 years ago presenting with bilateral angiosarcoma.
This case report highlights the importance of considering radiation-induced angiosarcoma of the breast as a differential diagnosis in a patient with recurrent breast neoplasms.
The challenges in the management with recent evidence on new treatment modalities are discussed.
