Atypical vascular lesions (AVLs) of the breast are rare cutaneous vascular proliferations that appear as flesh-colored or erythematous papules or macules in women who have undergone radiation treatment for breast carcinoma. These lesions can develop in the irradiated area up to 20 years after the radiation treatment but most commonly occur within 3 to 6 years.
