Abstract
BackgroundBreast hemangiomas are benign vascular lesion occurring within breast tissue.The main aim of this case report revolves around the importance of follow-up and excision of these benign lesions since they carry the risk of future malignancy. We report herein a histopathologically confirmed case of breast hemangioma diagnosed at routine sonomammogram.Case presentationA 58-year-old female presented with skin discoloration and vague mass in the lateral aspect of the left breast for one month. Physical examination, mammography and ultrasonography along with histopathological correlation have been carried out which helped us to arrive at the diagnosis of breast hemangioma.ConclusionFor lesions with conclusive evidence of benignity in core needle biopsy, follow-up imaging is ideal and for those cases with atypical radiological and pathological findings, a complete surgical resection is mandatory in order to exclude the possibility of an underlying angiosarcoma.
