Abstract:
Angiosarcoma is rare malignant neoplasms, which account for less than 1% of all sarcomas. They have a wide distribution in various body organs and tissues: approximately a third of cases occur in the skin and a quarter in soft tissues. Angiosarcoma rarely involves the female reproductive system. We present a case of a 37-yaer-old woman who had primary angiosarcoma of the left breast; With metastases to the spleen and ovary.
