Abstract

Vascular tumors of the breast are uncommon and include angiosarcomas and hemangiomas. Most vascular tumors of the breast are angiosarcomas, and benign hemangiomas of the breast are rare. We report a case of a cavernous hemangioma of 51-year-old woman, which was located in the subcutaneous layer of a palpable site in the right breast and was a probable benign lesion.
