Background: Hemangioma is a common benign tumor resulting from abnormal blood vessel growth but is infrequent in the breast. Preoperatively, it is challenging to diagnose breast hemangioma using clinical and conventional imaging modalities because of their lack of pathognomonic characteristics. An excisional biopsy can be used for tissue diagnosis in cases of diagnostic uncertainty. Case Presentation: We report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the breast in a 15-year-old adolescent female complaining of a rapidly enlarging firm and mobile lump in the right breast. Breast ultrasonography revealed a well-circumscribed, encapsulated, heteroechoic mass with smooth margins in the retroareolar region of the right breast. Subsequent excision of the lump revealed features of a cavernous hemangioma, and the follow-up was uneventful. Discussion: Cavernous hemangioma of the breast is a rare entity, and its diagnosis poses a significant challenge for clinicians, as the lump may not be noticeable. The clinical diagnosis is challenging; therefore, imaging is required. Breast ultrasonography typically shows a hypoechoic lobulated mass with clear borders, although isoechoic and hyperechoic appearances are also possible. Breast mammography revealed a well-defined mass with areas of calcification. Surgical excision is often necessary when there is a discordance between imaging and histopathological findings, lesions>2 cm, and atypical/malignant features. Conclusion: Breast hemangiomas are rare benign tumors with non-specific imaging features that require tissue sampling for diagnosis. Clinicians should be familiar with these characteristics to ensure proper management.

“…Дифференциальный диагноз КГ c обызвествлениями в структуре необходимо проводить с гиалинизированной фиброаденомой (ФА), внутрипротоковой формой рака (DCIS) и неспецифицированной формой рака (NST), лучевые характеристики которых наглядно представлены в табл. 1 [8]. За счёт овальной формы, четкого контура и склонности к обызвествлению, ФА и КГ имеют схожие характеристики на МГ и УЗИ.…”

Кавернозная гемангиома молочной железы — это доброкачественная опухоль, образованная из кровеносных сосудов. Клинически протекает бессимптомно и, в большинстве случаев, является случайной находкой, обнаруженной при выполнении гистологического исследования с целью верификации впервые выявленного новообразования молочной железы. В связи с отсутствием патогномоничных признаков, определить данное образование в контексте мультимодальной визуализации довольно трудно, дифференциальный диагноз следует проводить как с доброкачественными новообразованиями, например, фиброаденомой, так и со злокачественными поражениями, в частности, с протоковой карциномой in situ и неспецифицированным раком молочной железы. Целью данного клинического наблюдения является определение характерных лучевых признаков кавернозной гемангиомы молочной железы путем сопоставления результатов гистологического исследования с данными медицинской визуализации.

“…As of 2018, there were 19 cases reported in men [144,148]. They are found in 11% of breasts post-mortem [153] and in 1% of mastectomy specimens [154]. Hemangiomas are typically small lesions < 2 cm that are detected incidentally on screening mammography [155].…”

“…Hemangiomas are typically small lesions < 2 cm that are detected incidentally on screening mammography [155]. They can appear as superficial palpable masses frequently with skin discoloration [144,153], though this should raise suspicion for angiosarcoma [154]. Size may also be a useful indicator of malignancy; benign lesions are typically <2 cm, whereas angiosarcomas are typically >2 cm [144].…”

Mesenchymal Tumors of the Breast: Fibroblastic/Myofibroblastic Lesions and Other Lesions

et al. 2023

Mesenchymal breast tumors are a rare and diverse group of tumors that present some of the most challenging cases for multidisciplinary breast cancer teams. As a result of overlapping morphologies and a lack of large-scale studies on these tumors, practices are often heterogeneous and slow to evolve. Herein, we present a non-systematic review that focuses on progress, or lack thereof, in the field of mesenchymal breast tumors. We focus on tumors originating from fibroblastic/myofibroblastic cells and tumors originating from less common cellular origins (smooth muscle, neural tissue, adipose tissue, vascular tissue, etc.).
