Angiosarcoma is a rare soft tissue tumor of the breast. It occurs in both a primary form without a known precursor, and a secondary

form that has been associated to a history of irradiated breast tissue. It can present as a palpable mass or subtle erythematous

lesion. We present a case of an 70-year-old woman who developed secondary angiosarcoma after undergoing breast-conserving

therapy for stage I breast cancer. This case demonstrates the importance of vigilance regarding erythematous or livid breast

lesions in the setting of prior local radiation.

Keywords: angiosarcoma, radiotherapy, breast cancer
