Fat necrosis of the breast is a common and benign entity, often secondary to trauma, surgery, radiation therapy, or unknown etiologies. Critically ill patients with septic shock may experience end-organ hypoperfusion and tissue infarction and necrosis, which may result in breast fat necrosis, however, to the best of our knowledge this has not been previously described. We report a case of biopsy-proven breast fat necrosis secondary to septic shock following an emergency surgery in a postmenopausal female.
乳房脂肪坏死是一种常见的良性病变，常继发于创伤、手术、放射治疗或未知病因。患有感染性休克的危重症患者可能会出现终末器官低灌注和组织梗死及坏死，这可能导致乳房脂肪坏死，但据我们所知，此前尚未有相关报道。我们报告了一例绝经后女性在急诊手术后发生感染性休克并经活检证实的乳房脂肪坏死病例。
