Angiosarcomas are rare and aggressive tumors that originate from endothelial cells and make up roughly 2-3% of all soft-tissue sarcomas. Breast angiosarcomas may be idiopathic or secondary to radiation therapy or chronic lymphatic edema. Primary angiosarcoma of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is rare and usually causes abdominal pain or GI bleeding. In this case report, we present a patient who appeared with upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to a radiation-induced breast angiosarcoma metastatic lesion in the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ). To the best of our knowledge, breast angiosarcoma metastases to the GEJ were not previously described, and moreover, GI bleeding secondary to breast angiosarcoma GI metastases was not previously reported.
