title: [Recurrent breast haematoma after fine needle aspiration biopsy of angiosarcoma].
abstract: It is reported a rare complication after a fine needle aspiration biopsy of a breast angiosarcoma. A 30-years-old female presented with a right breast lump. An ovoid, hypoecoic lesion of 39 x 13 mm was detect by ultrasonography. A fine needle aspiration biopsy was carried out for diagnosis, but only blood was report. After the biopsy the skin showed a violaceous color, the lump was tender, reappeared in three instances and increased its size (15 cm). In spite of conservative management the pain and the mass did not disappear, then surgical management was decided. A soft, violaceous mass of 13 x 6 x 4 cm, with well demarcated boundaries was removed. A capillary and cavernous breast hemangioma was diagnosed. Four months later a recurrence presented, and a new excision was carried out with a resulting moderately differentiated angiosarcoma, then a simple mastectomy was performed for definitive treatment. On a literature search only one similar case was found. A recurrent haematoma after a fine needle aspiration biopsy of a breast tumor mandates to rule out an angiosarcoma.
