Abstract
PURPOSE
Hemangioma of the breast is an infrequent finding and usually encountered incidentally when checking for other disease. Most of hemangiomas of the breast are asymptomatic, not palpable perilobular type. Cavernous hemangioma of the breast is rare and only a few reports about this type of lesion are present. No example has been reported about reconstruction of the breast after resection of large cavernous hemangioma. METHODS: We report here a case of immediate breast reconstruction using a Becker implant after subcutaneous mastectomy for a large cavernous hemangioma involving almost entire breast.
RESULTS
Symmetry is well maintained after 3 years without deformity or recurrence.
CONCLUSION
The clinical prognosis of breast cavernous hemangioma is good after total excision and reconstruction.
