How would you treat low grade primary breast Leiomyosarcoma following lumpectomy?

Less than 2cm in size and closest margin is 0.6mm. Would you consider re-excision or mastectomy? Would you offer radiotherapy?

Limited data. I would favor a wider margin as the current margin is less than 1 mm and favor re-excision. After surgery, I have used the principle of organ/limb preservation prospective studies on soft tissue sarcoma and offered/considered adjuvant radiation.
