A case is presented of plasma‐cell mastitis that clinically appeared to be scirrhous carcinoma. The 10‐year history of a mass in the breast was significant in the differential diagnosis. Diagnosis by frozen section can be accurate only if a representative portion of the tissue is examined. Mastectomy is indicated only if the mass proves to be carcinoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
