Unresolved, atraumatic breast hematoma: post-irradiation or secondary breast angiosarcoma

Post-irradiation or secondary angiosarcoma of the breast was first described in the 1980s in patients treated with breast conserving therapy for cancer. The primary management of radiation-induced breast angiosarcoma has focused on surgical resection with an emphasis on achieving negative tumor margins. While surgery remains a key component of treatment, novel therapeutic approaches have surfaced. Despite such advances in treatment, prognosis remains poor.
