Abstract EN
Primary de novo angiosarcoma of the breast is an uncommon, aggressive neoplasm.
Here, we present a case of a young woman who initially developed primary angiosarcoma of the breast, and subsequently angiosarcoma of the ovary during pregnancy two years later.
Only two confirmed primary angiosarcomas of the breast metastasizing specifically to the ovary have been described in the literature.
However, all previous cases had ovarian metastases at presentation or shortly after initial diagnosis.
This case is unusual as it occurred after a relatively long interval, and apparently developed during pregnancy.
We discuss this rare phenomenon, as well as the possible factors contributing to the recurrence.
