Abstract
Composite hemangioendothelioma (CHE) is an intermediate grade neoplastic tumor of vascular origin. It consists of a varied mixture of benign, intermediate and malignantvascular components. Only few cases of CHE occurring in different soft tissue areas of the body and rarely in internal organs have been reported in literature till now. We report a case of CHE presenting as lump in the breast in a 42 year old female. A review of literature is also presented to create awareness of this entity which can be misleading in breast where angiosarcoma is also known to occur.
