Fibromatosis or desmoid tumour of the breast is an extremely rare, locally aggressive tumour with a tendency to relapse. Nevertheless these tumours do not have metastatic potential. Early recognition and wide local excision of the tumour is the treatment of choice. We present a case of a desmoid tumour of the breast in a 67-year-old woman and provide a review of the literature.

Skin lesions in a post-radiated breast should always be considered as possible angiosarcoma even if they mimic a traumatic lesion. Early detection by excisional biopsy followed by a mastectomy is necessary because of the high numbers of relapse if locally treated and possible deadly metastasis. We present a case of a cutaneous angiosarcoma occurred at lumpectomy site in a patient with a history of breast cancer and radiation of the breast and provide a review of the literature.
