RESUMO
Chronic encapsulated seroma following breast cancer surgery is a rare entity, and management is challenging. We present clinical and pathologic findings in a patient with previous node-negative breast cancer and an extensive history of chronic bilateral seromas, successfully treated with capsulectomy. This is the first report of fibrous encapsulated breast seroma with bilateral presentation and late onset, following mastectomy with no prior axillary dissection. When managing breast seroma refractory to conventional treatment, the diagnosis of encapsulated seroma should be considered, followed by prompt capsulectomy.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Cystic fibroadenoma is an extremely rare form of complex fibroadenoma, characterized by various cystic changes. We present clinical and pathologic findings in a patient with a unique diffuse cystic presentation. CONCLUSION: This is the first report of a case of a cystic fibroadenoma with diffuse changes with multiple small cysts forming a spongy pattern.
