“…Thus, the literature includes reports of lesions measuring up to 60 mm in male patients 21–24 . Phlebolith formation with calcification leading to mammographic suspicion of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) 25 has been recorded. An enlarging mass on mammography has been diagnosed as a cavernous haemangioma on needle core biopsy 26 .…”

Vascular proliferations of the breast are uncommon but potentially diagnostically challenging lesions. Clinically apparent processes are more likely to be malignant; however, a range of benign entities which must be differentiated from angiosarcoma also exists. This review discusses first, breast lesions of apparent vascular origin, then benign and histologically bland perilobular, cavernous and capillary haemangiomas. Subsequently, more diagnostically challenging, atypical haemangiomas, papillary endothelial hyperplasia, angiomatosis and angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (epithelioid haemangioma) are considered. In addition, lesions with low‐grade malignant potential such as haemangiopericytomas and epithelioid haemangioendotheliomas may rarely present in the breast. However, primary angiosarcomas and radiation‐associated vascular lesions are reviewed in depth, as these entities are of greatest clinical and pathological significance.

“…Although hemangiomas are benign, Shi et al (8) have stated that they may lead to suspicion of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) due to calcifications on mammography as a result of phlebolith formation. However, needle biopsy showed the lesion to be cavernous hemangioma (9).…”

Although the observation of breast vascular tumors is rare, the most common tumor is hemangıoma in the benign group, and these tumors are observed incidentally in lumpectomy or mastectomy specimens during histological examinations. They are classified into capillary, cavernous, and venous hemangıomas. Cavernous hemangıoma is the most common subtype. Cavernous hemangıomas are benign vascular tumors, which malformatıon from mature blood vessels. Hemangıomas ın the benıgn group may show a suspicion of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in mammographic analysis. Ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance ımagıng (MRI) are the most useful imaging methods for analyzing the structure of breast vessels. In this case, a 54-year-old female who have any complaint. Scanning mammography (MG) detected the tumor, but physıcal examınatıon and US could not identify the mass. According to the MG analysis, the lesion was evaluated as BIRADS 4b, and the patient underwent excisional biopsy after wire localization. Pathological analysis revealed cavernous hemangıoma.

“…Histologically, there are two common types: the capillary hemangioma composed of proliferating capillary-sized blood vessels and the cavernous hemangioma having large cavernous vascular channels; of which cavernous hemangiomas are more common [6,7]. Hemangiomas are subdivided into 4 types; the perilobular type, parenchymal type, nonparenchymal or subcutaneous, and venous [8,9].…”

A rare coexistence of concurrent breast hemangioma with fibroadenoma: a case report

et al. 2009

We report the case of a 38-year-old Asian, Indian female with capillary hemangioma breast in coexistence with the commonly occurring fibroadenoma. Clinical examination of the breast revealed a 4 cm diameter lump. Mammography revealed a well defined slightly hypoechoic lesion with smooth contours. A lumpectomy was performed. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a completely encapsulated fibroadenoma coexistent with a capillary hemangioma in the adjacent breast tissue. The rarity of literature on breast hemangioma especially capillary type with coexisting fibroadenoma deserves mention.
