Gadolinium-enhanced dynamic MRI of breast hemangioma

We describe a patient with hemangioma of the breast. The tumor showed an Ill-defined hypointense mass on T1-weighted imaging and hyperintense mass on T2-weighted imaging. After bolus gadolinium injection, the tumor showed heterogeneous enhancement in early phase and in the time-intensity an early intensive enhancement was followed by a plateau. This intensive enhancement in the early phase is not limited to breast carcinoma but can be found in breast hemangiomas as well.
