Breast Hemangioma Diagnosed in a Male Patient: A Case Report

Vascular tumors rarely occur in the breast, with hemangiomas being the most common benign form. The vast majority of these lesions occur in women and are clinically asymptomatic and non-palpable on exam, often detected as incidental findings during routine mammography. This report describes and discusses the case of a symptomatic breast hemangioma diagnosed in a 69-year-old male patient with no pertinent medical history, who presented to his primary care provider with complaints of vague left-sided chest wall pain to palpation. Mammography revealed an isodense and circumscribed oval-shaped lesion, with ultrasound demonstrating a hyperechoic solid mass with indistinct margins in the upper inner quadrant of the left breast. Core needle biopsy and histopathological analysis were performed confirming the diagnosis of benign breast hemangioma, with no further diagnostic workup or treatment indicated.
