“…Hemangioma of mammary glands with or without breast cancer have been reported in human beings (Kim et al, 2006;Kawatra et al, 2009;Rajdeo et al, 2015). The hemangiomas are often described as ´blood blisters' especially if they are superficial.…”

“…The hemangiomas are often described as ´blood blisters' especially if they are superficial. In a case of concurrent breast fibroadenoma and hemangioma in human female, they appeared as severely congested areas of brown color (Kawatra et al, 2009). W hile in another case there was oozing of dark colored blood on attempting the biopsy (Kim et al, 2006).…”

Background: Mouse mammary tumor is a common neoplasm of the species. Mice is an established model for human breast cancer studies and in recent times for transgenic studies. Hemangiomas are tumors of blood vascular system. Hemangioma with breast cancer is reported in human beings. Presented study describes an unusual case of concurrent mouse mammary tumor and cavernous hemangioma from Mizoram, India.Methods: A mortality of 8 out of a colony of 25 female albino mice was observed due to mammary tumors. Dead mice were thoroughly necropsied and tissue samples were collected from different parts of each tumor mass and fixed in neutral buffered formalin. The fixed tissues were processed for hematoxylin and eosin staining by routine paraffin embedding, microtomy and staining protocol. Result: Gross examination revealed variable sized tumors on abdomen of affected mice. Histopathology revealed two different forms of mammary tumor viz, acinar and solid mammary carcinoma. Most peculiar finding was remarkable presence of large, endothelial lined cavernous spaces with presence of stagnant blood. These were diagnosed as cavernous hemangioma. Perusal of available literature did not reveal any report of cavernous hemangioma occurring with mouse mammary tumor, while it is found in other species including human beings.

“…Venous hemangiomas are vascular proliferations with very soft, thick vascular walls. Subcutaneous hemangiomas are found in subcutaneous adipose tissue ventral to the pectoralis major fascia and may either be palpable, as described here in Case 2, or clinically inapparent as in Case 1 [8]. Some authors have recommended complete excision of subcutaneous hemangiomas, as ultimately it is difficult to differentiate them from angiosarcoma using imaging procedures or histopathology [7].…”

Hamartomas can occur in different areas of the breast, but they are rarely found in the breast. Myoid hamartomas with smooth muscle cells of the type described here are particularly unusual. The pathogenesis of this benign entity with its tendency to growth and recurrence is not clear. Excision is the therapy of choice. Capillary hemangiomas are rare vascular malformations of the breast which, in contrast to cavernous hemangiomas, usually remain clinically occult. It is important to differentiate these benign findings from malignant angiosarcoma. The possible heterogeneities between myoid hamartoma and capillary hemangioma using current breast imaging methods for the differential diagnosis (high-resolution ultrasound, duplex sonography, shear wave elastography, digital mammography, minimally invasive intervention) are discussed together with an overview of the literature.

“…The incidence of hemangiomas of the breast varies between 1.2% (discovered in mastectomies for breast cancer) and 11% (in forensic autopsies) [4,5]. Hemangiomas are benign tumors that are rarely found in the breast, but sometimes they have been found on microscopy of biopsy material when there are other indications [6,7]. In the vast majority of hemangiomas, the diagnosis is based on history and clinical examination [8].…”

A palpable breast lump is a frequent clinical finding and preoperative evaluation varies depending on its localization and characteristics. Vascular tumors are rarely diagnosed especially regarding the tail of Spencer region. In general, they appear oval-shaped with wellcircumscribed margins, but their echostructure varies, and it might be quite difficult for the breast specialist to differentiate it from complex cysts, fibroadenomas or some carcinomas. The authors describe a rare location of breast hemangioma with mammographic characteristics that were suspicious for malignancy. There were no identifiable risk factors, no familial history of breast lumps, and patient did not mention the intake of hormonal therapy. The lump was evaluated by mammography and breast ultrasonography, whereas due to the high vascularity of the nodule, the decision not to perform fine-needle aspiration (FNA) was made and an excisional biopsy was performed. The histological result was "breast capillary hemangioma".
