Fat Necrosis

Fat necrosis is a benign condition where fatty breast tissue is damaged and forms a firm, round lump. It can occur due to trauma, surgery, or radiation therapy.

Symptoms of Fat Necrosis

Patients with fat necrosis may notice a painless, firm lump in the breast. The skin over the lump may appear red or bruised, and the area may be tender to touch. In some cases, fat necrosis can mimic the symptoms of breast cancer, making accurate diagnosis crucial.

Diagnosis and Treatment Fat Necrosis

Fat necrosis is diagnosed through a combination of clinical examination, imaging tests, and sometimes a biopsy. Since fat necrosis is not harmful, treatment may not be necessary unless the lump is painful or bothersome. In such cases, surgical removal may be an option.
