[Radiation-induced breast angiosarcoma following breast-conserving therapy. Report of two cases].
Breast angiosarcoma is a rare but serious complication of radiotherapy. We report two cases of radiation-induced breast angiosarcoma in two patients having benefited from breast conserving surgery with radiation. We shall put emphasis on the etiopathogeny of these tumours and their clinical and therapeutic aspects.
