Abstract
Breast hemangioma is a rare benign tumor in female and extremely rare in males. They are part of vascular tumors. Here, we described the case of a male patient who had a breast hemangioma for 30 years that was diagnosed incidentally in a thorax and abdomen tomography.
Discussion
Breast hemangiomas are found in 1.2% of mastectomy specimens and 11% of postmortem specimens of the female breast [6]. Recordings of breast hemangioma in the male breast are limited to very few reports, thus an exact incidence can´t be determined.
Clinical Features
Clinical diagnosis is difficult, the most common symptom is the presence of a palpable mass on the breast [4]. Even if the lesion is associated with change of the color of skin, the most common diagnosis in this setting is angiosarcoma [8].
Conclusion
The hemangioma is an extremely rare benign tumor of the breast in males with very few cases reported in the literature. Because imaging features are nonspecific the differential diagnosis is broad and may include benign and malignant lesions, usually requiring tissue sampling for a definite diagnosis.
