摘要
Vascular tumours of the breast are uncommon and they include angiosarcomas and hemangiomas. Hemangiomas are rare and angiosarcomas are more common than hemangiomas of the breast. Here, we are reporting a case of a 19-year old girl who presented with a non tender palpable lump in the left breast since 15 days. Mammography and FNAC were inconclusive and the diagnosis was established on the basis of histopathology. This case was reported to highlight that a single diagnostic modality may not be sufficient to diagnose a case of hemangioma. Though it is a benign lesion, a histopathological evaluation is necessary for its accurate diagnosis and to rule out underlying malignancy, if any.
