Clin Case Rep. 2023 Jul 19;11(7):e7539. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.7539. eCollection 2023 Jul.

Abstract

Key clinical message: Post-radiation angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare complication associated with a poor prognosis. This case reports the first loss of function mutation in TSC1 in breast radiation-induced angiosarcoma and illustrates the utility of evaluating these markers to identify potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract: Post-radiation angiosarcoma of the breast is rare and associated with a poor prognosis. This case presents the first loss of function mutation in TSC1 in breast radiation-induced angiosarcoma. Evaluation of these markers can aid in identifying potential therapeutic targets.
