Abstract
Primary angiosarcoma of the breast is an uncommon aggressive tumour. Its diagnosis is particularly difficult because it occurs in young women and the clinical and imaging findings are non-specific and may simulate inflammatory or infectious entities. This tumour has been associated with pregnancy, although it has not been shown to be a hormone-dependent tumour. We present a case of bilateral synchronous angiosarcoma of the breast with onset in the lactation period. Despite being an extremely rare neoplasm, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of a rapidly growing palpable lesion in young women.
