Angiosarcoma is a rare but very aggressive tumor. It occurs in all organs of the body, and approximately 8% of all angiosarcomas arise in the breast. We reported 2 cases of primary breast angiosarcomas in young women. The 2 patients showed similar clinical features, but were quite different in dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging. The 2 patients were treated with mastectomy and axillary sentinel lymph node dissection and confirmed by post-operative pathological test. We suggested that dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging was the most helpful imaging tool in the diagnosis and pre-operative evaluation of the breast angiosarcoma.
血管肉瘤是一种罕见但极具侵袭性的肿瘤。它可发生于身体的所有器官,约8%的血管肉瘤发生于乳腺。我们报告了2例年轻女性原发性乳腺血管肉瘤病例。这2例患者表现出相似的临床特征,但在动态对比增强磁共振成像方面有很大差异。这2例患者均接受了乳房切除术和腋窝前哨淋巴结清扫术,并经术后病理检查确诊。我们认为动态对比增强磁共振成像是乳腺血管肉瘤诊断和术前评估中最有用的影像学工具。
