Sarcomas of the Breast

Sarcomas of the breast can be sporadic (primary) or secondary (postradiation). In this review, we discuss clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, diagnostic evaluation, and histologic classification of these rare tumors. Evidence-based management of breast sarcoma with regard to surgery, neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation, nodal staging, and outcomes are also discussed. Finally, a clinical case with radiologic and pathologic correlates is presented. This review contains 3 figures, 5 tables, and 44 references. Key words: angiosarcoma, breast sarcoma, radiation-induced sarcoma
