Abstract
Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were used to assess a 4-month-old male infant with a multicystic tumor of the left breast that was identified at birth. The tumor was removed surgically following the diagnosis of a cavernous hemangioma. Only seven similar cases of lymphangioma of the breast have been reported. We review these cases in conjunction with our own findings.
