Malignant vascular tumors are rarely encountered and angiosarcoma which is the most common one in this group are seen less than 2% among all sarcomas. Breast angiosarcomas are clinically classified in 3 groups depending on primary breast angiosarcoma, chronic lymphedema, radiation therapy and mastectomy.
