The most common adverse events include hypertension, proteinuria, and hemorrhage, reflecting its anti-angiogenic activity. Although the VEGF signaling pathway is strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of hemangiomas, the development of new hemangiomas during VEGFR-2 inhibition is rarely reported. Case Report: A 38-year-old woman with stage IV gastric adenocarcinoma presented with peritoneal dissemination and lymph node metastasis. She initially received FOLFOX plus immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, achieving a partial response before disease progression. Second-line treatment with paclitaxel and ramucirumab was initiated. During therapy, chest computed tomography revealed a newly developed contrast-enhancing nodule in the left breast parenchyma, raising suspicion of metastasis or primary breast carcinoma. Breast ultrasonography confirmed ahypervascular lesion, and ultrasound-guided biopsy demonstrated numerous capillary-sized vessels lined by bland endothelial cells, consistent with capillary hemangioma. Owing to deterioration of her general condition, chemotherapy was temporarily discontinued. Despite subsequent third-line FOLFIRI and fourth-line trifluridine/tipiracil treatment, the patient eventually died of disease progression. Notably, follow-up chest CT scans showed gradual reduction and eventual spontaneous disappearance of the breast hemangioma, independent of systemic therapy.  \nConclusion: This isarare case of abreast parenchymal capillary hemangioma arising during ramucirumab therapy for advanced gastric cancer, which regressed spontaneously. Clinicians should recognize that atypical vascular lesions may develop paradoxically during VEGFR-2 blockade and confirm histological diagnosis to avoid misinterpretation as metastasis or new primary malignancy.  \nKeywords: Capillary hemangioma, breast parenchyma, ramucirumab, VEGFR-2 inhibition, hypervascular lesion.  \n*These Authors contributed equally to this study.  \n✉ Sang-Gon Park, MD, PhD, Department of Internal Medicine, Hemato-oncology, Chosun University Hospital, 365 Pilmun-daero,  \nDong-gu, Gwangju, 501-717, Republic of Korea.
