Angioma of a male breast with malignant characteristics


D.S. Procter

Abstract

This case is presented because of it great rarity and the scant attention the condition receives in the literature. Only casual references to angioma of the breast are made in ome standard works, whilst others do not mention it at all. This fact is rather surprising, since Ewing described it in his work in 1919. The first reference to it was made by Bormann in 1907. In all 18 such cases have been described previously. These were all in females. There are thus sufficient cases on record for it to be regarded as a clinical entity, and therefore to put on their guard clinicians and pathologists alike in dealing with a similar case, rare as it may be.
