Why the study?

Primary breast angiosarcoma is rare, highly aggressive, and frequently subject to delayed preoperative diagnosis because it lacks distinctive radiographic characteristics.

Population

One 47-year-old female patient with recurrent primary breast angiosarcoma

Design

Case report

Follow-up

22 months after diagnosis

Overview

May aid rare breast angiosarcoma diagnosis via combined imaging; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.

Structured PICO

P
Population
1 female patient, 47 years old, with a previous history of luminal cancer in the right breast with mastectomy, presenting with an asymmetrically diffuse enlarged, painless mass in the left breast (primary breast angiosarcoma).
I
Intervention
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for diagnosis, followed by nipple-sparing simple mastectomy with immediate reconstruction.
O
Outcome
Diagnostic utility of MRI and CEUS and clinical course of the disease.

Combining contrast-enhanced ultrasound and MRI can help characterize the morphology and hemodynamics of rare primary breast angiosarcomas to aid in diagnosis.
