Résumé

L’angiosarcome du sein est une tumeur conjonctive très rare, elle est de diagnostic difficile et de très mauvais pronostic. Sa définition est anatomopathologique; il s’agit d’une prolifération maligne primitive des cellules endothéliales du tissu vasculaire de la glande mammaire. Notre étude a porté sur deux cas d’angiosarcome du sein pris en charge à la maternité des Orangers puis à l’Institut national d’oncologie. Le diagnostic préopératoire a été soulevé sur les données cliniques et anatomopathologiques. Le traitement était essentiellement chirurgical. L’évolution a été marquée par la rémission complète dans les deux cas. À la lumière de ces deux observations ainsi qu’à la revue de la littérature, nous avons essayé de faire une mise au point sur les différents aspects de cette maladie.

Abstract

Angiosarcoma is a rare type of breast cancer; it has the worst prognosis of all breast malignancies and it is difficult to diagnose. Its definition is pathological; it is a primary malignant proliferation of endothelial cells of vascular tissue of the mammary gland. We report two cases of breast angiosarcoma observed at the Maternity of Oranges and at the National Institute of Oncology. The preoperative diagnosis was raised on the clinical and pathological data. The treatment was essentially surgical. The evolution was marked by complete remission in both cases. In light of these two observations and the literature review, we tried to update on the various aspects of this disease.
