“…The clinical description of mammary angiosarcoma differs little from that of a conventional breast carcinoma. This is a painless mass, large up to 19cm, with rapid growth, the almost constant association with an abnormality of the skin over the form of a reddish, purplish or pulsatile sometimes associated with cutaneous ulcers (2) . Bilateral involvement is common.…”

“…This is explained by the rapid development of the lesion, leaving no time to calcareous salt deposits from forming. Furthermore, shrinkage and thickening skin next to the tumor are rarely described in angiosarcoma of the breast (2) . Breast ultrasound finds a heterogeneous echogenicity lesion with liquidiennes beaches indicating the presence of necrotichemorrhagic area where the interests of the Doppler showing vascular spots (2) .…”

“…CT scans can show a mass that is enhanced dramatically after injection of the contrast agent and a partial homogenization for late time. In magnetic resonance imaging, angiosarcoma appears as a mass with a hypointense on T1 and T2W, with tubular periphery areas having a more intense signal on T2, suggesting the presence of blood vessels (2) . The histological diagnosis of breast angiosarcoma is difficult; it may even be wrong.…”

Cystosarcoma phyllodes: a report of five cases and literature review

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction : Cystosarcoma phyllodes of the breast are rare, and it accounts for less than 1% of the malignant tumors of the breast. Its clinical and radiological characteristics are those of benign tumors, and only a fast tumoral growth can evoke diagnosis. Materials and methods :We report five cases of cystosarcoma phyllodes of the breast and review the literature to report the circumstances of occurrence of these tumors, their specific difficulties in clinical diagnosis, and therapy.Results : The average age of our patients was 34.9 years. Eighty percent had two parity or more, except a nulliparous unmarried patient. The size of the tumor was on average 8 cm, with localization especially on the left breast (75%). The imagery showed an aspect favoring benignity. Fine needle aspiration cytology evoked the presence of phyllodes tumors or fibroadenomas. In all the cases, the surgical treatment consisted of a radical mastectomy. One patient underwent a lymph node clearing out because of the presence of axillary adenopathy and treatment was completed by radiotherapy. The follow-up showed a locoregional and systemic control in all our patients between six months and eight years. No death is to be regretted in our study.Epidemiologic factors, diagnosis and therapeutic difficulties will be discused using our experience and literature review.
