Angiolipoma an Uncommon Breast Mass in Men

Abstract

Angiolipomas are uncommon benign masses of the breast which are rarely described in the male breast. They do not have a typical mammographic appearance and can present with concerning features such as microcalcifications or irregular borders. Ultrasound is helpful in evaluating these masses most commonly appearing as oval, circumscribed, and hyperechoic. Clinical, radiological, and pathological information needs to be carefully evaluated as angiolipomas can be confused with malignant pathology. Three cases of angiolipomas of the male breast are reported in this study with mammographic, sonographic, and pathologic correlation.
