Abstract
This is a case report of a 57-year-old man who had primary angiosarcoma of
the left breast. Five months after detecting a mass in his breast, he under
went mastectomy with biopsy of the ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes. Three
years later, he is still alive without any recurrence. Angiosarcoma of the
female breast is rare and exceptional in males. It is a condition with a po
or prognosis and there are as yet no established chemotherapeutic regimens.
