AI Article Synopsis
- Hemangiomas are rare growths in the breast, especially in men, and they often feel like a lump.
- A male patient found out he had a breast hemangioma after accidentally hurting his breast, which led him to see a doctor.
- This case suggests that benign (non-cancerous) breast lumps in men might not be recognized or reported as much as they should be.
Article Abstract
Hemangiomas of the breast are uncommon and, in males, almost always present as a palpable breast mass. Here, we report the case of a male patient who was diagnosed with a breast hemangioma following an incidental injury to his breast, which triggered symptoms that prompted clinical work-up. As this diagnosis likely would have otherwise not been made, it follows that benign breast masses in males may be underreported and underdiagnosed.
