abstract ={Introduction: Infarction is a very rare complication of fibroadenoma. Diagnosis of such a situation is not easy.
Case Presentation: 23-year-old woman with a painful tumor of the right breast with mild erythema at the periareolar region. Breast ultrasound shows a heterogeneous lesion of 31×30 mm, in the retroareolar right breast with well-defined borders, and does not present vascular flow inside. Antibiotic treatment was administered without improvement. The breast ultrasound was repeated with no significant changes. Surgical removal of a well-encapsulated cystic lesion was performed. The patient was discharged the same day of surgery, and her postoperative evolution was correct. Histopathologic evaluation revealed an infarcted fibroadenoma.
Conclusion: Breast ultrasound could be very useful in the diagnosis of infarcted fibroadenoma; treatment consists of local excision of the lesion.}
