Highlights that breast angiosarcoma can present with unusual metastases after a long disease-free interval.
Alerts clinicians to possible late unusual metastases in breast angiosarcoma; single case leaves open generalizability and surveillance needs.
Angiosarcoma of the breast accounts for less than 1% of all primary breast lesions. It occurs at all ages, but more frequently in younger women than does primary breast carcinoma. It often has a rapidly progressive clinical course and, as in one of the reported cases, can present with unusual sites of metastases even after a long disease-free interval.
