AB  - Primary angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare entity, accounting for less than 0.1% of breast malignancies,
with potential life-threatening outcomes. Diagnosis of angiosarcoma can be difficult due to its variable
and unpredictable clinical, radiological, and pathological presentation. Primary angiosarcoma occurs
predominantly in younger populations with no previous risk factors; in contrast, secondary angiosarcoma
occurs predominantly in the elderly with a previous of radiation exposure. We describe the case of a
50-year-old female presenting with a large, advanced breast tumour diagnosed as primary angiosarcoma
