Abstract: Breast angiosarcoma is a rare tumor. It can be presented as primary or secondary type. Primary angiosarcoma arises spontaneously, while secondary angiosarcoma arises secondary to radiation. It presents as painless palpable masses clinically and confuse with common malignancies of the breast. Diagnosis with fine needle aspiration is difficult. Ultrasonography shows hypervascular mass. Immunohistochemical markers helps in diagnosis. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Role of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy remains to be defined.
