[Angiosarcoma of the breast. Apropos of 4 cases with a review of the literature].
Four cases of angiosarcoma of the breast were treated at Centre Léon-Bérard in Lyon. It is a rare malignant vascular tumor, constituting < 1% of all primary breast lesions. Radical local surgery is the treatment of choice; however, local recurrences and metastases are frequently observed. The 3-year disease-free survival rate is < 15%. The role of irradiation and adjuvant chemotherapy remains to be evaluated. Doxorubicin-ifosfamide-GM CSD gave a positive response in one case with metastases.
