Primary breast angiosarcoma is an extremely rare tumor type (0.05% of primary breast cancers) for which diagnosis can be difficult. They arise within the breast parenchyma and typically present as a breast mass. Here, we present the case of a 30-year-old female with spontaneous hypervascular skin on her right breast with progressive enlargement presenting as an expanding hematoma. A chest computed tomography revealed a hypervascular mass in the right breast abutting the pectoralis muscle and cystic changes within the mass. A core needle biopsy revealed an angiosarcoma. In this case study, we report a patient who, with no history of any known risk factors, presented with a benign vascular skin lesion as the first sign of angiosarcoma followed by an expanding hematoma, which is an extremely rare manifestation of the disease. Microscopic examination demonstrated a low-grade angiosarcoma on the skin, while a high-grade angiosarcoma was found in the breast parenchyma.
原发性乳腺血管肉瘤是一种极其罕见的肿瘤类型(占原发性乳腺癌的0.05%),其诊断可能具有挑战性。它们起源于乳腺实质内,通常表现为乳腺肿块。在此,我们报告一例30岁女性,其右乳出现自发性高血运皮肤,伴进行性增大,表现为逐渐扩大的血肿。胸部计算机断层扫描显示右乳有一个高血运肿块,紧邻胸大肌,肿块内有囊性改变。粗针活检显示为血管肉瘤。在本病例研究中,我们报告了一名患者,其无任何已知危险因素史,最初表现为良性血管性皮肤病变,随后出现逐渐扩大的血肿,这是该疾病极其罕见的表现。显微镜检查显示皮肤为低级别血管肉瘤,而乳腺实质内为高级别血管肉瘤。
