“…In fact, after conducting a literature search in PubMed using the following search equation "Breast Pseudoaneurysm AND Core Needle Biopsy AND Case Report", only 17 case reports were found (Table 1).

“…Regarding the 17 case reports of breast PA following CNB found in PubMed, it was found that the patients' mean age was 51 years, that Doppler US was mostly used to confirm the PA diagnosis, and that surgical resection and US-guided compression were the main treatments used. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Despite the rarity of breast PA as a complication of CNB, the appearance of large hematomas on the breast following CNB should raise the clinical suspicion of this entity. When this happens, at least a Doppler US should be performed after the resolution of the hematoma.…”

Introduction: Core needle biopsy (CNB) is the gold standard for histopathological diagnosis of breast masses. However, rare complications may occur after undergoing CNB, including hematoma and pseudoaneurysm (PA) of the breast. Cases presentation: Case 1: 66-year-old woman with a left breast mass who underwent a CNB without complications. Around eleven months later, she noticed a palpable and pulsatile mass in her left breast. She was diagnosed with a PA (1.6x1.3 cm) by means of a Doppler ultrasound (US) and a breast magnetic resonance imaging, which was surgically resected without any complication using local anesthesia. Case 2: 44-year-old woman with a left breast mass. After undergoing CNB, she developed ecchymosis and a palpable and pulsatile mass in her left breast. A Doppler US showed a 1.4x0.7 cm cystic lesion suggestive of a breast PA. The mass was surgically resected without complications using local anesthesia and sedation. Conclusion: Breast PA is an extremely rare complication of CNB, with only 17 cases reported in PubMed to date. However, breast PA must be highly suspected in the presence of warning signs such as bleeding, hematoma and a palpable and/or pulsatile breast mass after undergoing CNB.

“…1 CTA can be an additional diagnostic imaging modality that allows better detection of origin of the lesion and its relationship with the surrounding structures. 5 CTA is especially useful for planning endovascular treatment of pseudoaneurysms. It is also helpful in the diagnosis of acute arterial bleeding from a ruptured pseudoaneurysm, which manifests as arterial contrast extravasation that persists on a more delayed scan.…”

“…A 2-cm pseudoaneurysm that was found on ultrasonograms and computed tomography angiograms (CTA) was surgically resected. 5 Here, we describe a case of an iatrogenic axillary pseudoaneurysm developed after an ultrasoundguided, vacuum-assisted biopsy of the axillary lymph node. The pseudoaneurysm was initially treated with endovascular coil embolization and direct thrombin injection but ultimately required surgical resection.…”

“…4 One case report documented an axillary pseudoaneurysm after a core needle biopsy of the axillary lymph node. 5 According to the report, the biopsy was performed with an ultrasound-guided, 14-gauge, semiautomatic biopsy device. A 2-cm pseudoaneurysm that was found on ultrasonograms and computed tomography angiograms (CTA) was surgically resected.…”

Breast pseudoaneurysm (PSA) is known as pulsatile or communicated hematoma or false aneurysm. The incidence is 0.05%-0.5%. PSA can be spontaneous or secondary to interventional breast procedures, surgery, penetrating chest trauma, local infection, and burns. Meanwhile, spontaneous PSAs occur in elderly patients, with atherosclerosis or with coagulation therapies. We present two cases of PSA, the first case is a 29-years-old female and a 49-years-old female, who came for a check-up due to a recent a pulsatile mass after a breast core needle biopsy. Faced at hypoechoic mass is important to use color Doppler to rule out the diagnosis of PSA. Because of the low incidence, guidelines for treatment or a standard conduct are not established. However, it is important to set up management in order to avoid further complications.
