Case Report: Incidental Hemangioma of the Breast in MRI Breast Cancer Screening Program-Biopsy Leads to Postinterventional Bleeding in a 35-year-old Woman

Abstract

Hemangiomas of the breast are rare, usually benign lesions with varying features in imaging, resulting in clinical challenges. Here we report on a 35-year old woman who presented with an unclear lesion of the right breast. MRI guided biopsy resulted in postinterventional hematoma, histopathological analysis showed a hemangioma. Because the findings in imaging and histology were consistent, we opted against a repeat (open) biopsy.
