Breast hemangioma is a rare tumor and when small, it may be difficult to diagnose using conventional imaging techniques. In this report the MR appearance is described with histopathological correlation.
benign breast lesions do not always undergo biopsy or surgery. The different forms of EHM are better appreciated in Giemsa-stained smears because of their metachromatic nature, which imparts bright magenta color.To conclude, hyaline material in the breast lesions is not a rare finding as it was considered earlier and can be seen in both benign and malignant lesions. It is often under-recognized by pathologists and may be mistaken for atypical or malignant breast lesions. EHM in cytological smears should be cautiously interpreted to avoid an erroneous diagnosis of malignancy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
