Abstract
- Secondary hemangiosarcomas are a rare malignancy that can develop in breast tissue that has undergone prior radiation therapy. Post-irradiation hemangiosarcomas (PIHs) have been frequently described in the literature, although, to the best of our knowledge, the imaging findings of locally recurred PIHs have not been previously reported. We present imaging findings of a case of a locally recurring secondary hemangiosarcoma in the context of prior breast conservation surgery and radiation.
