About Angiosarcoma Breast

Angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare and aggressive type of cancer that originates in the lining of blood or lymph vessels within the breast tissue. While it can occur spontaneously, it is most commonly seen as a secondary cancer following radiation therapy for a previous breast cancer, typically appearing years later. Diagnosis and management often involve a multidisciplinary team, including an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist for initial assessment, especially when a breast lump is discovered during a routine gynaecological exam. The primary treatment is surgical removal (wide local excision or mastectomy) to achieve clear margins, often followed by additional therapies like chemotherapy or radiation. Early detection and aggressive treatment are crucial due to its high potential for recurrence and metastasis.

Key Highlights

Targeted surgical removal of a rare but aggressive vascular tumor.Multidisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive care planning.Aims to achieve clear surgical margins to reduce recurrence risk.Critical for preventing the spread (metastasis) of this fast-growing cancer.Often part of a broader treatment plan including adjuvant therapies.

Who is this surgery for?

Presence of a rapidly growing, painless breast mass, often with a bluish or bruised discoloration of the skin.
New breast lump or skin changes identified years after prior radiation therapy to the chest/breast.
Diagnosis confirmed via core needle or excisional biopsy showing malignant vascular cells.
Suspicion of angiosarcoma based on imaging findings (MRI, ultrasound) showing a vascular lesion.
To treat localized disease before it metastasizes to other organs like lungs, liver, or bones.

How to prepare

Comprehensive diagnostic workup including mammogram, breast ultrasound, and breast MRI.
Definitive tissue diagnosis via biopsy (core needle or surgical) and histopathological review.
Staging scans (CT chest/abdomen, PET scan) to check for metastasis.
Pre-operative consultations with surgical, medical, and radiation oncology teams.
Routine pre-surgical tests: blood work, ECG, and anesthesia evaluation.
Discussion of surgical options (lumpectomy vs. mastectomy) and potential for reconstruction.

Risks & possible complications

General surgical risks: bleeding, infection, poor wound healing, and anesthesia complications.
High risk of local recurrence even with clear surgical margins.
Risk of metastasis to distant organs, which worsens prognosis.
Lymphedema (arm swelling) if axillary lymph node dissection is performed.
Cosmetic and functional changes to the breast depending on the extent of surgery.
Complications from any required adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial hospital stay for pain management, wound care, and drain management if placed.
Wound care instructions to monitor for signs of infection or delayed healing.
Gradual return to light activities; avoidance of heavy lifting or strenuous arm movement for several weeks.
Follow-up appointments to review pathology results and plan for adjuvant therapy if needed.
Possible referral to physical therapy to manage or prevent lymphedema and restore range of motion.
Long-term, regular imaging and clinical follow-ups due to the high risk of recurrence.

Typical hospital stay: 3-7 days
Expected recovery time: 4-6 weeks for initial surgical recovery; long-term monitoring required
