Abstract
Breast angiosarcoma is a very rare manifestation. Herein, we report a case of breast angiosarcoma in a 21-year-old woman admitted to our hospital with a one-year history of a palpable mass with fullness and swelling of the right breast. The various imaging findings, including mammography, ultrasound (US), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), of this rare disease are described. The imaging findings of US and combined MRI of breast angiosarcoma were specific in this case. The imaging characteristics could be helpful in detecting and diagnosing breast angiosarcoma in young women with a palpable mass with fullness and swelling of the breast.
