RESUMEN
ABSTRACT: The breast can be affected by a variety of specific and unique disorders during pregnancy and lactation. One of these disorders is spontaneous infarction of the breast which is a rare condition seen in physiologically hyperplastic mammary tissue associated with pregnancy and lactation. The causes and mechanism of the development of breast infarct remain largely unknown. Only 25 cases of breast infarct have been reported in the English literature. Phyllodes tumor is uncommon in pregnant women, and to date, only one report of spontaneous infarction of the phyllodes tumor has been reported in a postpartum woman. In this report, we describe the first case of coexistent infarction of the hyperplastic breast parenchyma with infarction of phyllodes tumor in a 25-year-old female.
