Cavernous haemangioma of the breast

Br J Radiol. 2006 Nov;79(947):e177-80. doi: 10.1259/bjr/11217388.

Abstract

Vascular tumours of the breast are rare and most can be classified as either angiosarcomas or haemangiomas. Cavernous haemangiomas are the most common form of mammary haemangioma. We describe a case with unilateral whole breast involvement without associated calcifications, studied with mammography, ultrasound and MRI.
