Atypical vascular proliferation of the breast induced by radiation is an angiomatoid proliferation that appears on previously irradiated skin by the conservative treatment of a breast carcinoma. We present a 58-year-old female patient who consulted for multiple millimeter purpuric papules in the right breast. She received radiotherapy and quadrantectomy for an intraductal carcinoma 5 years before. She is currently on tamoxifen. The histopathology and immunohistochemistry reported atypical vascular proliferation induced by radiation, lymphatic variety. Watchful waiting is adopted with close monitoring.
