INTRODUCTION
Breast gangrene has been reported as a complication following puerperal sepsis, breast surgery, nipple piercings, warfarin toxicity, etc. We report a case of primary breast gangrene in an HIV-positive individual which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first of its kind.
CASE REPORT
A 40-year-old previously healthy woman presented with fulminating left breast gangrene. She was detected to be HIV positive. Mastectomy was performed. The detailed management of the condition is discussed.
CONCLUSION
Severe necrotising infections may be initial manifestations of HIV infection and patients with such infections should be screened for HIV.
