“…On post-contrast images, a vivid heterogeneous enhancement was demonstrated [40]. In particular, the kinetic enhancement is strictly linked to tumor grade: the kinetic curve shows a rapid enhancement with rapid washout in the highest grades, while a plateau or a persistent enhancement is seen in the lower ones [58][59][60][61][62][63][64]. In addition, high-grade tumors may also present hemorrhage or vascular lakes, displayed as focal areas of hyperintensity on T1-w images [58] (Figure 9).…”

Angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare breast cancer, which can arise de novo (primary breast angiosarcoma, PBA) or as a secondary malignancy (secondary breast angiosarcoma, SBA) as a result of a biological insult. In the latter case, it is usually diagnosed in patients with a previous history of radiation therapy following a conserving treatment for breast cancer. Over the years, the advances in early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, with increasing use of breast-conserving surgery and radiation therapy (instead of radical mastectomy), brought about an increased incidence of the secondary type. PBA and SBA have different clinical presentations and often represent a diagnostic challenge due to the nonspecific imaging findings. The purpose of this paper is to review and describe the radiological features of breast angiosarcoma, both in conventional and advanced imaging to guide radiologists in the diagnosis and management of this rare tumor.
