Radiation-induced angiosarcoma (RIAS) of the breast is a rare and aggressive malignancy that emerges as a late complication of radiation therapy for primary breast cancer. We present the case of a 56-year-old woman with a history of high-grade ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast, previously treated with lumpectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, radiation therapy, and anastrozole. Five years after treatment, she developed new skin changes on her breast, including bruising and blistering following tanning bed use.

Skin malignancies associated with radiation exposure, notably malignant melanoma and keratinocyte carcinoma, are emerging as a significant global health challenge. While indoor tanning beds are associated with skin cancer risk, limited research exists on ultraviolet (UV)/light-emitting diode (LED) nail lamps used widely in manicures/pedicures. This scoping review aimed to synthesize evidence on the health effects of UV/LED nail lamp exposure during manicures/pedicures.
