Abstract
A case of a 42 year old multiparous female with bilateral angiosarcoma of the breast without any evidence of dissemination, who later also developed a psammomatous meningioma, is described herein. The world literature on angiosarcoma is reviewed and a discussion presented on the incidence of bilaterality, hormonal stimulation, diagnostic difficulty, prognostic factors and treatment modalities.
