Air in the breast tissue (pneumomastia) is a rare finding, more so without any history of procedures on the breast. We report the case of an 80-year-old lady who was found to have foci of gas in her right breast on a CT scan. On exclusion of other possible causes for the same, it was concluded that the air in the breast tissue was secondary to a peripheral intravenous line placement. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pneumomastia as a complication of peripheral intravenous line placement.
乳腺组织内的气体（乳腺积气）是一种罕见的发现，在没有任何乳腺手术史的情况下更为罕见。我们报告一例80岁女性病例，其在CT扫描中被发现右乳有气体灶。在排除其他可能原因后，得出结论认为乳腺组织内的气体是外周静脉置管所致。据我们所知，这是首例报道的因外周静脉置管引发乳腺积气的病例。
