Multiple bilateral angiolipomas of the breast: a case report

Angiolipoma, a benign mixed connective tissue tumour which is uncommon in the breast, may be confused clinically, radiologically and pathologically with malignant lesions. An unusual case of multiple, bilateral angiolipomas appearing synchronously and metachronously in the breasts of a 75 year old woman is presented. The apparent recurrent nature of these tumours is considered to result from a change in multiple, pre-existing but previously impalpable tumours in both breasts.
