Cytokeratin positivity in secondary angiosarcoma of breast: A diagnostic pitfall


, ,
Abstract

Reappearing breast lump in a known case of breast carcinoma often turns out to be a recurrence of the carcinoma. However, in patients receiving radiotherapy for the disease, possibility of secondary angiosarcoma should also be suspected. Secondary angiosarcoma can pose a challenge in pathological diagnosis especially in small trucut biopsies. Aberrant expression of epithelial marker can also add to the difficulty. In this article, we report a case wherein similar difficulties were faced during the diagnosis.
