Haemangiomas of the breast in children.
Capillary hemangioma of the breast parenchyma is a rare finding in the pediatric age group. The condition was diagnosed in two children, aged 18 months and three years. Such lesions have occasionally been found during histologic surveys among asymptomatic adult women. Although vascular tumors in the adult breast are often found to be sarcomatous, the pediatric lesion is benign and responds well to simple excision.
