Pathol Res Pract. 1991 Mar;187(2-3):301-6. doi: 10.1016/S0344-0338(11)80788-0.

Abstract

Two cases of well-differentiated angiosarcoma following radiotherapy together with an immunocytochemical and electron-microscopical study are reported. Both cases occurred in young females (16- and 22-yr-old respectively) who had been irradiated after birth for an "angiomatous" lesion. These cases have to be added to 34 similar cases reported in the literature.
