“…In the vast majority of situations, SMM remain asymptomatic (as in our case) and only in a few cases may present as local swelling, pain or muscle impairment [2]. The imaging findings may vary from round/oval lesion with homogeneous enhancement or abscess-like lesion to diffuse infiltrating aspect with inhomogeneous enhancement, multiple intramuscular calcifications or even intramuscular bleeding [7] and differential diagnosis is required [8,9].…”

Pectoralis muscle metastases from breast cancer in a young patient detected by automated breast ultrasound

et al. 2019

Metastases to the skeletal muscle from breast cancer represent an unusual and rare condition. We present the case of a 27-year-old female with left breast cancer (IDC NST G3) who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by conservativesurgery (sectorectomy and lymphadenectomy) and radiation therapy. Two months after the end of radiotherapy she presented with a 2 mm skin lesion and she was referred for a screening ultrasound. The screening automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) revealed local recurrence and pectoralis metastases, lesions evaluated also by magnetic resonance imaging. The diagnosis was confirmed by the ultrasound-guided biopsy.

“…Despite the proposed systems for distinguishing between proliferative and dysplastic vascular abnormalities, inconsistencies still persist between the radiological [39] and histopathological classification of vascular lesions [43][44][45][46]. Abnormal vascular development may induce hard to diagnose and classify lesions in organs such as the breast [47].…”

The purpose of the paper is to present the ultrasonographic and imaging appearance of two cases of peripheral nerve intraneural vascular anomalies and provide a comprehensive review of the publications on this subject.The clinical presentation, ultrasonographic appearance, corresponding imaging and outcome of a case of ulnar nerve venous malformation and a case of median nerve arteriovenous malformation are presented.Literature search revealed 35 papers presenting 52 cases of vascular anomalies involving the peripheral nerves. The ultrasonographic appearance was described only in ten cases. Our review suggests that peripheral intraneural vascular anomalies are twice more frequent in women. About three quarters of them are located in the upper limb, with the median nerve involved in one third and the ulnar nerved involved in a quarter of all cases. Most of the cases are hemangiomas. Peripheral neural compartment syndromes in patients with coexisting vascular anomalies may prompt for vascular neural involvement, requiring diagnostic imaging studies. Gray-scale and Doppler ultrasound are the methods of first choice, as they provide not only direct visual proof of neural involvement but also contribute to the differential diagnosis between hemangiomas and vascular malformations.

“…Of the few reported cases, the majority are limited to breast tissue without skin involvement [3]. Clinically, these lesions present as palpable masses, tenderness, or progressive enlargement of the breast [4], [5], [6], [7], [8].…”

Angiomatosis of the breast is an extremely rare, benign vascular lesion. This is a diagnostic challenge, given the limited number of cases reported in the literature. Additionally, due to similar features of the more common malignant vascular tumor, angiosarcoma familiarity with angiomatosis in the differential diagnosis is important. We present a case of angiomatosis of the breast in a 28-year-old female. The lesion presented as an incidental enhancing mass on computed tomography scan initially and subsequent mammogram and ultrasound studies did not show a correlate. Next, magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an enhancing correlate for which magnetic resonance imaging biopsy and subsequent excisional biopsy demonstrated angiomatosis of the breast.
