Abstract

Angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare malignant sarcoma of endovascular origin that presents with various radiological findings. We encountered a case of angiosarcoma of the breast presenting as an irregular indistinct hyperechoic mass on ultrasonography, with a large single angiosarcoma of the spleen in a previously healthy 36-year-old female. Herein, we report the imaging and pathologic findings and review the literature.

유방의 혈관육종은 매우 드문 악성 육종으로, 영상 소견이 비특이적이며 지금까지의 보고가 제한적이다. 또한 진단 당시 유방 및 비장 각각에서 하나의 큰 병변으로 보인 혈관육종은 거의 보고되지 않았다. 이에 저자들은 과거력이 없는 건강한 젊은 여성의 유방 및 비장에서 함께 관찰된 혈관육종 증례를 영상 및 병리학적 소견과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
