Abstract

This article discusses a case of congenital hemangioma (CH) in the breast, accompanied by breast hypoplasia in a 12-year-old girl. CH is a rare cutaneous vascular tumor that develops in utero, and its relationship to breast development is uncertain. The authors suggest surgical intervention for CH in the breast before puberty to promote normal breast development. They emphasize the importance of accurate preoperative identification of CH subtypes and careful surgical dissection to avoid damage to the breast bud. The article calls for more reports on long-term postoperative breast development to evaluate the benefits of early surgical excision. [Extracted from the article]
