Background: Primary breast angiosarcomas are very rare type malignant breast tumor. It may have an insidious clinical onset, presenting as a painless, often discrete palpable mass that grows rapidly. The ranged age of disease is 20-50 years. Case description: We report a case of a young woman with palpable and painless mass of her left breast. Based on radiological findings with mammography and MRI examination reported as malignant mass of the left breast suspected angiosarcoma. Pathological confirmation post-surgery reported a well-differentiated angiosarcoma that arose primarily in the left breast. Patient treated with simple mastectomy followed by whole breast radiotherapy. External beam radiotherapy delivered using 3DCRT with FIF technique, prescribed dose 60Gy in 30 fractions within 6 weeks. Conclusion: There is no established standard treatment for primary angiosarcoma of the breast. Mastectomy remains the mainstay of treatment. Adjuvant radiotherapy appears to improve local control. © 2023, Sanglah General Hospital. All rights reserved.
