There is so much going on today that I thought that it would be best if I give answer early unless I forget. The lesion is a post radiation angiosarcoma of the breast. It is predominantly spindled cell type. Epithelioid examples are much more epithelioid and often have intracytoplasmic lumina. The only real differential diagnosis would be a "high grade" field from a KS but the endothelial cell atypia makes the diagnoses less problematical

I thought of angiosarcoma but I think it is the ordinary not the epithelioid variant..
