Abstract
Vascular lesions of the breast are uncommon, however, these are increasingly encountered now due to more frequent use of magnetic resonance imaging. They comprise a spectrum of lesions including benign, atypical, and malignant tumors. The prototype is a hemangioma, which is most often nonpalpable and is detected on routine screening. Different histopathologic subtypes of hemangioma have been described, including perilobular, venous, cavernous, and capillary hemangioma. Other benign vascular lesions include anastomosing hemangioma, a well-circumscribed proliferation of anastomosing blood vessels with lobular or diffuse growth pattern which affects a large segment of the breast, presenting as a painless slow enlarging palpable mass. Recent data suggest that benign vascular lesions diagnosed on core needle biopsy with concordant radiologic and pathologic findings do not require excision and have an excellent prognosis, except angiomatosis, which can be locally aggressive and may recur. The main focus of this study is to present the radiographic, gross, and histopathologic characteristics of benign vascular lesions of the breast and their differential diagnoses.

Abstract
Vascular tumors of the breast are rare, and most can be classified as either hemangiomas or angiosarcomas. Breast hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that are often found incidentally at pathologic examination. Breast hemangiomas may mimic low grade angiosarcomas, which are malignant vascular tumors. This article illustrates the imaging characteristics of breast hemangiomas and breast angiosarcomas across multiple imaging modalities.

Abstract
Hemangioma of the breast is an uncommon tumor type that is usually small, superficially located, and impalpable. The majority of cases are cavernous hemangiomas. We describe a rare case of a large, palpable mixed hemangioma of the breast which was located in the parenchymal layer, studied with magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, and sonography. Magnetic resonance imaging findings of slow and persistent enhancement from the center to periphery are useful in characterizing benign breast hemangiomas, where even the lesion presents with a suspicious shape and margin on sonography.

Abstract
Hemangiomas are described in many locations, but breast hemangioma (BH) is rare, accounting for only 0.4% of all breast tumors. These tumors are difficult to diagnose preoperatively using conventional imaging modalities because they lack pathognomonic characteristics. Mammographic and sonographic appearances of BH were described in just a few case reports, and breast implant-related hemangiomas are even rarer. We report a case of the tumor arising in an atypical location-between the elastomer and fibrous capsule of a breast implant.Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Abstract
Vascular tumors of the breast are rare and may pose a diagnostic challenge. Breast hemangioma is a very rare benign vascular neoplasm accounting for 0.4% of all breast tumors. It is most commonly detected as an incidental microscopic finding in biopsy specimens obtained for unrelated reasons. We describe here a very rare case of a sinusoidal breast hemangioma in a postmenopausal patient who presented with a palpable breast mass. A complete surgical resection was performed because the tumor exhibited atypical imaging features. We conclude that although in carefully selected cases of breast hemangioma a conservative management with follow up imaging is a reasonable option, in cases with atypical imaging or pathological characteristics a complete surgical resection of the vascular tumor is mandatory in order to exclude the possibility of an underlying angiosarcoma.

Abstract
Although the observation of breast vascular tumors is rare, the most common tumor is hemangıoma in the benign group, and these tumors are observed incidentally in lumpectomy or mastectomy specimens during histological examinations. They are classified into capillary, cavernous, and venous hemangıomas. Cavernous hemangıoma is the most common subtype. Cavernous hemangıomas are benign vascular tumors, which malformatıon from mature blood vessels. Hemangıomas ın the benıgn group may show a suspicion of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in mammographic analysis. Ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance ımagıng (MRI) are the most useful imaging methods for analyzing the structure of breast vessels. In this case, a 54-year-old female who have any complaint. Scanning mammography (MG) detected the tumor, but physıcal examınatıon and US could not identify the mass. According to the MG analysis, the lesion was evaluated as BIRADS 4b, and the patient underwent excisional biopsy after wire localization. Pathological analysis revealed cavernous hemangıoma.

Abstract
Angiomatosis or diffuse hemangioma is a very rare benign vascular tumor, consisting of blood and lymphatic channels growing diffusely in the breast parenchyma. We report a case of diffuse breast angiomatosis in a 34-year-old woman with pubertal anisomastia. Ultrasound raised the suspicion of vascular tumor, by showing large cystic spaces separated by septae with moderate blood flow, similar to those found in cystic lymphangioma. We discuss the imaging (mammography, ultrasound, and MRI) and pathologic findings, with a brief review of the literature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Breast ultrasound is helpful in the characterization of masses to differentiate benign from malignant disease. The internal echotexture of a mass is an important ultra-sound feature in breast diagnostic workup. This article reviews the imaging and histopathology findings of benign and malignant hyperechoic masses to better recognize these conditions. CONCLUSION Hyperechoic masses are frequently benign, including hematoma, fat necrosis, abscess, and benign neoplasm. Malignant hyperechoic lesions include invasive ductal and invasive lobular carcinoma, lymphoma, and sarcoma. Understanding lesion echotexture in the context of clinical and mammographic findings will help establish appropriate diagnoses for hyperechoic masses.

Abstract
Hamartomas can occur in different areas of the breast, but they are rarely found in the breast. Myoid hamartomas with smooth muscle cells of the type described here are particularly unusual. The pathogenesis of this benign entity with its tendency to growth and recurrence is not clear. Excision is the therapy of choice. Capillary hemangiomas are rare vascular malformations of the breast which, in contrast to cavernous hemangiomas, usually remain clinically occult. It is important to differentiate these benign findings from malignant angiosarcoma. The possible heterogeneities between myoid hamartoma and capillary hemangioma using current breast imaging methods for the differential diagnosis (high-resolution ultrasound, duplex sonography, shear wave elastography, digital mammography, minimally invasive intervention) are discussed together with an overview of the literature.

Abstract
Vascular abnormalities of the breast include a wide spectrum of arterial and venous disorders, as well as benign and malignant vascular masses. Multimodality imaging is often necessary to accurately diagnose several of these uncommon conditions, and pathologic correlation can be important for accurate diagnosis of vascular masses. After a review of the vascular anatomy of the breast, the authors discuss the imaging appearance of several native arterial disorders (atherosclerosis and aneurysm) and venous disorders (superior vena cava syndrome, congestive heart failure, thrombophlebitis, and varix). Benign vascular tumors (hemangioma, lymphangioma, and angiolipoma) and malignant vascular tumors (angiosarcoma and hemangiopericytoma) that may be encountered in the breast are also reviewed. In addition, pitfalls in the correct interpretation of vascular breast lesions (devascularization of masses and pathologic mimics) are reviewed. Understanding and assessing normal and pathologic breast vasculature will permit more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning and allow breast imagers to have a more active role in breast care.

Abstract
A 35 year-old man first noticed an elastic mass like breast tumor in his left chest 17 years ago. It enlarged to the size of a child's head. Computed tomography showed a well-circumscribed mass in the left chest. Lumpectomy was performed. The mass was located under the thin major pectoralis muscle, covered with a white fibrous capsule. The specimen weighed 1360 g and measured 18 × 14 × 8 cm. Histological examination revealed a cavernous hemangioma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a chest hemangioma arising from connective tissue and located under the major pectoralis muscle.

We report the case of a 38-year-old Asian, Indian female with capillary hemangioma breast in coexistence with the commonly occurring fibroadenoma. Clinical examination of the breast revealed a 4 cm diameter lump. Mammography revealed a well defined slightly hypoechoic lesion with smooth contours. A lumpectomy was performed. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a completely encapsulated fibroadenoma coexistent with a capillary hemangioma in the adjacent breast tissue. The rarity of literature on breast hemangioma especially capillary type with coexisting fibroadenoma deserves mention.

Abstract
Cavernous hemangiomas of the breast are rare and when present, are generally well defined. Their presentation in the axilla mimicking cancer is extremely rare. This report describes the case of a premenopausal woman with a cavernous hemangioma in the axillary region with clinical, mammographic, and sonographic characteristics strongly suggestive of malignancy. The definitive diagnosis was based on histological analysis of the lesion complemented by immunohistochemistry for the CD34 marker. Cavernous hemangioma in the axillary region is extremely rare and the possibility of its presentation in this location mimicking cancer should be considered.
