We present a case of a 49-year-old female who developed RIAS after treatment of breast ductal carcinoma by lumpectomy and postoperative radiation. The RIAS developed at the site of the prior breast carcinoma. The diagnosis of RIAS was challenging and required extensive immunohistochemistry (IHC) studies to rule out all other possible differential diagnoses, including benign and malignant conditions. The patient underwent a total mastectomy as the primary surgical intervention, followed by a regimen of postoperative chemotherapy to target any residual cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence. After three years of rigorous follow-up, the patient remains free of disease, showcasing the effectiveness of the combined surgical and chemotherapeutic approach in managing this challenging tumor. This case underscores the importance of vigilant long-term monitoring and a multidisciplinary treatment strategy in improving outcomes for patients with post-radiation breast angiosarcoma.

This case report provides an overview of a 22-year-old man who initially presented with an axillary mass and later received a diagnosis of a granular cell tumor. The mass was originally suspected of having a lymphoproliferative process, among other types of tumors. The report discusses the clinical presentation, imaging findings, histopathological characteristics, and treatment approach for this condition. Radiologically and pathologically, GCT can mimic other benign or malignant neoplasms. An accurate diagnosis is vital for proper treatment. This report emphasizes the importance of including GCT in the differential diagnosis of axillary masses, as well as the need for thorough diagnostic evaluation to ensure appropriate management and optimal outcomes for patients with this rare entity.
