Occasionally, patients with tumors of the mammary region, which do not originate in the gland itself, attend the mastology consultation. We present the case of a young woman with a painless and slowly growing soft tissue tumor in the right mammary region. Tomography located the tumor below the pectoralis major, with which it contacts but does not infiltrate, it had a rounded shape and circumscribed limits. The doubt about the nature of the lesion led towards a resective behavior, being the pathological anatomy consistent with a cavernous hemangioma.
