- Abstract: Vascular tumors of the breast are a highly infrequent finding. Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that are rarely present in the breast, and they are usually found incidentally on microscopy of biopsy material when checking for other diseases. Cavernous hemangioma also can develop at many anatomic sites, but there are only a few recorded examples of this lesion arising primarily in the breast. We report here on a case of cavernous hemangioma of the breast.
