·       Under Discussion, “In 1949 Delaure and Redon were the first to diagnose spontaneous infarction in fibroadenoma in young woman” is rewritten as “In 1949 Delaure and Redon were the first to diagnose spontaneous infarction in fibroadenoma among young women”.

Further comments on the paper

Comments: The Case report presents a 23-year-old woman with a painful tumor in the right breast following mild erythema in the periareolar region. Later, ultrasound imaging revealed the diagnosis of the infarcted fibroadenoma of the breast. The manuscript mainly highlights the difficulty in the diagnosis of the infarcted fibroadenoma of the breast. In addition to the report, it provided established facts and novel insights for the diagnosis of infracted fibroadenoma.
