J Cancer Res Ther. 2022 Oct-Dec;18(6):1804-1807. doi: 10.4103/jcrt.JCRT_631_20.

Abstract

Breast cyst, especially galactocele is usually benign. Needle aspiration or surgical removal are both diagnostic and therapeutic. Mastectomy is not necessary even if the whole breast is affected, but surgeons need to be vigilant. We describe a rare case of persistent and large breast cyst.

Keywords: Cancer mimicry; large cystic breast tumor; malignant cystic breast tumor.
