Postmastectomy low-grade angiosarcoma. An unusual case clinically resembling a lymphangioma circumscriptum.
A 90-year-old white woman developed a low-grade cutaneous angiosarcoma arising on a chronically lymphedematous extremity 15 years after a radical mastectomy for breast carcinoma. This neoplasm had the clinical appearance of lymphangioma circumscriptum and was characterized by an unusually benign course with a 3-year follow-up.
