Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Case Description
Primary breast angiosarcomas are endothelial derived breast sarcomas found in younger to middle age groups. The diagnosis of primary breast angiosarcoma in an octogenarian woman is a rare incidence. We report a case of 87-year-old postmenopausal woman presenting with history of lump in her right breast for four months. Ultrasound guided biopsy was performed which confirmed the diagnosis of angiosarcoma hence, subjected to simple mastectomy. She was doing quite well for one year when ultimately, she developed metastatic disease and couldn't survive more. Microscopically, these tumours are classified into grades I, II and III. Hematogenous route has been taken for metastasis having lungs being most involved. There are limited case reports and studies that have investigated the use of adjuvant radio/chemotherapy. Primary angiosarcoma of breast is a rare disease in old age group with limited treatment options which resulted in poor prognosis and early relapse.
