description Lymphangioma of the breast is an exceptionally rare benign tumor, often posing significant diagnostic challenges due to its rarity and nonspecific imaging characteristics. We present the case of a 56-year-old female who presented with a painless, gradually enlarging mass in her right breast. Diagnostic imaging, including mammography, ultrasound (USG), and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CEMRI), played a crucial role in identifying the condition. This case underscores the importance of including lymphangioma in the differential diagnosis of cystic breast masses.
