Angiolipoma of the Breast: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
An angiolipoma is an unusual, benign variant of a lipoma with a hemangiomatous component. The tumor can occur anywhere in the body, but an angiolipoma of the breast is rare.(1,2) The mammographic findings of an angiolipoma are variable, and the lesion can sometimes mimic a carcinoma.(2) However, in most cases, sonography shows the tumor to be a homogeneously well-circumscribed hyperechoic lesion that is usually benign.(3,4) We report a rare case of an angiolipoma of the breast that presented with a non-tender palpable mass. Although no focal abnormal findings were seen on mammography, the lesion appeared as a single homogeneously irregular hyperechoic lesion with an extension to the subcutaneous layer on ultrasound.
