An acquired giant vascular tumour of the breast.
We present a rare case of an acquired giant vascular tumour of the breast that was diagnosed as angiomatosis. It was characterised by the mixture of blood-filled haemangiomatous, and apparently empty lymphangiomatous, vascular channels. The breast remnant returned to a normal configuration and contour without breast reduction.
