“…Regarding the simple traumatic non-neoplastic breast hematoma, CT examination mostly showed the hematoma in the posterior breast space. In the reported cases, the amount of bleeding was large and rapid, and arterial bleeding was considered after the nal operation [2,5]. In tumor bleeding, parenchymal blood vessel hemorrhage is considered to break into the cyst cavity or to form the cyst cavity in the catheter.…”

“…Hematoma can lead to necrosis of the skin, which may require surgical drainage. Severe hematomas are common in patients with clotting disorders or taking anticoagulants, and reports have shown that the use of combined anticoagulants with blunt trauma in the breasts causes huge hematomas, which require emergency surgery [2]. Most traumas are self-healing, therefore, if patients' signs or symptoms persist for more than 4-6 weeks, then their risk of breast cancer must be carefully evaluated [1] Basic imaging examinations for breast masses included ultrasound, mammography and MRI.…”

Background: Breast hematoma is a manifestation of blunt force injury to the breast. Hematomas without obvious clinical complications were treated conservatively and most of them were self-healing. If there is no history of tumor and no need for emergency treatment, the possibility of tumor is often ignored by clinicians due to the history of trauma. The repeated hematoma in this case did not attract the attention of the clinician, and the lack of cytological and histological examination is a mistake. This case gives us more clues that recurrent hematomas in the breast need to be looked for abnormal causes.Case presentation: This study describes a 62-year-old woman who underwent 6 times of puncture drainage and local compression bandaging for a breast hematoma caused by blunt chest trauma. After each treatment, hematoma was restored to its original size and about 200 ml of blood was drained each time. Hematoma resection was performed 7 months later and the patient was diagnosed with breast cancer. Cytology and histological examination were not performed during the seven months, and patient’s early diagnosis and treatment were delayed. Conclusions: Recurring hematoma of the breast requires active search for the cause of abnormal bleeding, and tumor bleeding is a key point that cannot be ignored.

“…Breast hematomas are found in trauma, such as surgical and anticoagulant induction or abnormal blood clotting caused by blood diseases. In blunt trauma to the chest, breast hematoma is rare, with a rate of less than 2% [2]. The presence of a breast hematoma should be suspected when subcutaneous ecchymosis and painful masses are present.…”
