Radiation therapy is a significant risk factor for the development of angiosarcoma. With the increase in breast conservation treatment, the incidence of cutaneous radiation-induced angiosarcoma of the breast is rising. If the angiosarcoma demonstrates epithelioid features, the tumor cells may present a diagnostic dilemma on fine-needle aspiration cytology. We present a case of metastatic radiation-induced cutaneous epithelioid angiosarcoma of the breast to the liver and a review of the literature.
放射治疗是血管肉瘤发生的一个重要危险因素。随着保乳治疗的增加,乳腺皮肤放射性诱导血管肉瘤的发病率正在上升。如果血管肉瘤表现出上皮样特征,肿瘤细胞在细针穿刺细胞学检查中可能会带来诊断难题。我们报告一例乳腺转移性放射性诱导皮肤上皮样血管肉瘤肝转移的病例并对文献进行综述。
