Radiation-induced breast angiosarcoma: a case report
Radiation-induced breast angiosarcoma is a severe but rare late complication in the breast-preserving management of breast cancer through surgery and radiotherapy [1]. Often the initial diagnosis of this entity is complex given its relatively anodyne nature and usually being present in the form of typically multifocal reddish-purple papular skin lesions [2]. Because of the low incidence of this...
متن کاملTwo cases of radiation-induced cutaneous angiosarcoma
We report two cases of radiation-induced cutaneous angiosarcoma that occurred years after radiotherapy for pelvic cancer. The tumors in both cases were inoperable because of the poor performance status of the patient or the extent of the lesion. We treated the tumors with concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The chemotherapy consisted of the weekly administration of 70 mg/m paclitaxel. Bot...
متن کاملRadiation therapy for angiosarcoma.
BACKGROUND Between 1964 and 1998, 19 patients with histologically proven angiosarcoma were treated with curative intent with radiation therapy. METHODS Median follow-up was 37 months (range, 8-234 months). RESULTS The actuarial 5-year absolute survival and local control rates were 51% and 50%, respectively.

متن کاملAnalysis of radiation-induced angiosarcoma of the breast.
Breast angiosarcoma may occur de novo, or as a complication of radiation therapy, or chronic lymphedema secondary to axillary lymph node dissection for mammary carcinoma. Both primary and secondary angiosarcomas may present with bruise like skin discoloration, which may delay the diagnosis. Imaging findings are nonspecific. In case of high-grade tumours, MRI may be used effectively to determine...
متن کاملA Case of Radiation-Induced Multifocal Laryngeal Angiosarcoma Presenting as a Diagnostic Dilemma
Head and neck sarcomas are relatively rare tumors, with angiosarcomas representing a small subset. Angiosarcoma is a malignant endothelial neoplasm characterized by atypical, multilayered, or solid endothelial proliferation with vasoformative architecture. The global incidence of irradiation-associated sarcoma is estimated as between 0.03% and 0.08%. Here we reported the case of an elderly woma...
