Abstract: Recurrent hemorrhagic cyst is an uncommon presentation of breast disease. The ordinary imaging could not demonstrate the malignant features of the cyst. However, the non-contrast dedicated breast computerized tomography could support the malignancy concern. Although tissue diagnosis cannot show the malignant cell, Surgical excision could be offered without uncompromising. Eventually, ductal carcinoma in-situ was diagnosed and further adjuvant treatment could be given. We reported the first case report of ductal carcinoma in-situ, hypersecretory type, presented by a hemorrhagic cyst.
