| Cavernous hemangioma of the breast is rare, and if manifested as a focal palpable
mass of the breast, it should be differentiated from angiosarcoma and other breast
malignancies. We described a case of a 54-year-old woman with apalpable breast
mass confirmed as a cavernous hemangioma. This lesion presented as a hyperdense
mass on mammography and a hypoechoicmass with internal calcifications on ultrasonography.
The calcifications exhibited a round shape and central lucency, making
themphleboliths. Phlebolithsisarecharacteristic findingsin soft tissue hemangiomas,
and finding them during a mammography helps to identify hemangiomas. |
