| Title | Unusual presentation and inconlusive biopsy render fibroadenoma in two young females a diagnostic dilemma | |
| Creator | Meerkotter, D Andronikou, S | |
| Description |
Two young non-lactating females presented with acutely painful breast masses. Sonographic features showed mixed echogenic masses. Core biopsy was non-diagnostic in both and surgical excision revealed infarcted fibroadenomas. Although fibroadenomas are common, they do not commonly infarct and only rarely in non-lactating and non-pregnant females. These two cases highlight the clinical and imaging characteristics of this important differential diagnosis. |
