Spontaneously infarcted fibroadenoma of the breast in an adolescent girl: sonographic findings

Abstract

Spontaneous infarction in fibroadenoma unrelated to any known risk factors is extremely rare. Here, I present a case of a spontaneously infarcted fibroadenoma in an adolescent girl in whom no plausible predisposing factors were identified. High-resolution sonographic imaging showed a unique circumscribed, complex echoic mass containing a frondular solid portion.
