Secondary neoplastic lesions in lymph nodes are predominantly metastases from solid tumors, whereas primary lymph node hemangiomas are exceptionally uncommon, with only 24 well-documented cases in the literature. Histologically, they are characterized by endothelial cells that may appear flattened or enlarged, with variable vascular density, and the presence of stromal elements. Notably, the concurrent presence of a primary hemangioma and a metastasis from breast cancer - the latter being the most prevalent secondary lesion in axillary lymph nodes - represents an unprecedented observation. The unique case presented herein underscores the exceptional rarity of primary lymph node hemangiomas and demonstrates for the first time their possible coexistence with breast cancer metastasis within the same axillary lymph node. In sharing and discussing this case study, we pay homage to Professor Juan Rosai, whose work in redefining rare and complex diagnoses continues to enlighten our understanding of lymph node vascular lesions.
