Cavernous Breast Hemangioma Mimicking an Invasive Lesion on Contrast-Enhanced MRI.

Hemangiomas are vascular lesions, which are only rarely located in the breast. Larger breast hemangiomas may be detected by clinical examination, mammography, and breast ultrasound, whereas smaller lesions are usually incidental findings. We present a rare case of a 43-year-old woman with a cavernous hemangioma of the breast, presenting only on MRI and evading mammographic and ultrasonographic imaging.

Quality-of-life changes over time in breast cancer patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery: a prospective study in Greece.
