Abstract
This report describes five cases of pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia of the breast. The lesion manifested as a discrete palpable slowly growing lumps. The patients ranged in age from 30 to 71 years. The clinical diagnosis was that of fibroadenoma in most cases. Pathologic examination revealed complex vascular like lesions closely resemble mimic well-differentiated angiosarcoma. The accurate diagnosis was established following the application of appropriate immunohistochemical markers.
