“…Mammogram and ultrasound findings classically show oval, well demarcated lesions with or without dense microcalcifications 7. In malignant tumours, speculated appearances may be apparent 8. However, in this case the lesion was not distinguishable radiologically from the breast abscess.…”

SUMMARYWe present a rare case of osseous metaplasia in a poorly healing breast abscess. An 87-year-old woman was referred to the breast surgery clinic with a painful lump in her right breast. Initial imaging and core biopsy suggested a breast abscess. Despite several courses of antibiotics and repeated attempts at aspiration the painful lesion persisted. It was eventually surgically excised in its entirety and final histopathology showed the presence of bone formation within the abscess. The patient's symptoms subsequently resolved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature, of osseous metaplasia within a breast abscess in the absence of malignancy. BACKGROUND

“…They are rare but can occur in an area that was previously irradiated and as many as 40% of these tumors are preceded by fibroadenomas or cystosarcoma phyllodes. 5 Osteosarcomatous differentiation in phyllodes tumors is uncommon. 6 Metastasis occurs by blood rather than by lymphatic spread.…”

“…Its diagnosis is often delayed because of a desceptively benign clinical and radiologic appearance (Watt et al, 1984). Although differential diagnosis from metaplastic carcinoma may not be possible on cytological grounds alone, FNA has proven to be of value in preoperative diagnosis of malignancy and prompt surgical intervention, as clinically and mammographically these lesions can be underdiagnosed as a benign tumour (Trihia et al, 2007).…”
