Angiosarcoma of the Male Breast: A Case Report with Review of Literature.

ABSTRACT

Primary breast angiosarcoma is a rare type of breast malignancy accounting for only 0.04% of all malignant breast tumors. It usually occurs in third to fourth decade and reported mainly in women and rarely in men. The histological features of angiosarcomas of the breast are conventionally grade I, II or III. Total mastectomy appears to be the main stay of treatment conferring benefit, chemotherapy and radiation therapy being of little proven value to date. The prognosis remains poor irrespective of grade of tumor.
