Popis: The present case report reports hemangiomas of the interpectoral region presenting as unilateral gynecomastia in a young male of 16 years of age. On investigations, ultrasound and computed tomography of the chest revealed a soft tissue tumor with multiple spotted calcifications. After further investigations, excision was done and a final diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma was made by histopathological examination. Interpectoral hemangioma appears to be rare and should be included in the differential diagnosis of males presenting with unilateral gynecomastia and chest wall swellings.
