Abstract

Neurofibromatosis in breast swelling is a rare presentation. We encountered a female presented with odd presentations of bleeding breast swelling. Initial imaging shows appearances of haemangioma with a lesion based on Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) BIRADS 4a. Initial biopsy shows a characteristic of Phyllodes tumor, however post-operative histopathological shows peripheral neural sheath tumor in favor neurofibroma.

Keywords: Neurofibromatosis, NF1, breast, breast cancer, bleeding breast tumor.
