Abstract
Primary breast sarcomas (except malignant phylloid tumors) are exceedingly rare tumors that account for less than 0.1 % of all malignant breast tumors. Approximately 25 % of all primary breast sarcomas are angiosarcomas. In this article, we report two cases of primary angiosarcoma and discuss challenges of its differential diagnosis.
