Primary angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare malignant tumor. Diagnostic breast imaging includes mammography and ultrasound, which are usually nonspecific. A 42-year-old woman with angiosarcoma of the breast is presented. Physical findings showed a hard exophytic mass in the upper part of the left breast, with skin discoloration overlaying the mass. Mammography revealed a high density well defined mass in the left breast, without any micro-calcification and speculation. On ultrasound examination, a hypoechoic mass with a well-defined margin and heterogenous echogenicity was detected. A core needle biopsy and excisional biopsy were performed, and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of angiosarcoma. The patient underwent simple mastectomy. We present the mammographic and ultrasonographic features of a case of primary breast angiosarcoma with exophytic growth.
原发性乳腺血管肉瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤。乳腺诊断性影像学检查包括乳房X线摄影和超声检查,这些检查通常不具有特异性。本文报告了一名42岁患有乳腺血管肉瘤的女性病例。体格检查发现左乳房上部有一个质地坚硬的外生性肿块,肿块上方皮肤变色。乳房X线摄影显示左乳房有一个高密度、边界清晰的肿块,无任何微钙化及毛刺征。超声检查发现一个边界清晰、边缘低回声且回声不均匀的肿块。进行了粗针穿刺活检和切除活检,组织学检查确诊为血管肉瘤。患者接受了单纯乳房切除术。我们展示了一例具有外生性生长的原发性乳腺血管肉瘤的乳房X线摄影和超声特征。
