Haemangioma of the breast: The added value of contrast enhanced ultra-sound (CEUS) in the vascularity assessment of a rare mesenchymal lesion.

Haemangiomas have been described in many anatomic locations, but occur quite rarely in the breast; although unfrequent, they are the most common benign vascular tumors of the breast. They are comprised in the cathegory of mesenchymal lesions, a spectrum of lesions that arise in the stroma of the breast as defined by WHO. Here we present the case of a breast haemangioma in a 40-years-old woman, with history of a palpable lump in the left breast slowly increasing in size over time.

Granulomatous mastitis (GM) in a young woman with a previous history of prolactin-secreting PitNET and actual normal prolactinemia.

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare inflammatory condition of the breast. IGM is a benign condition, and is more typical in women of child-bearing age, with a recent history of pregnancy and breast feeding. Its clinical presentation can mimic inflammatory breast cancer or breast abscess.

Postsurgical Ultrasound Evaluation of Patients with Prosthesis in Acellular Dermal Matrix: Results from Monocentric Experience.

Mastectomy and breast prosthetic reconstruction is the most common surgical treatment for women diagnosed with breast cancer. In the last few years, breast prosthetic augmentation in acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has been introduced. The aim of this study is to present our single-center experience in evaluating the outcome of patients who underwent breast reconstruction in ADM, using ultrasound (US) examination.
