Imaging of infection in breasts: A case report.

There have been few reports on the imaging characteristics of (C. ) infection of the breast. Herein, we reported the imaging features of C. infection of the breast in a 41-year-old woman with immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Bilateral, diffuse, hyperechoic, and well-defined margin lesions were observed on breast ultrasounds. In addition, a global asymmetry in the left breast, and a focal asymmetry in the right breast were observed on mammograms. Breast fine needle aspiration and biopsy results revealed a C. infection. After 5 months of treatment with oral fluconazole and amphotericin B, the lesion on the right breast disappeared on repeated-breast ultrasounds.
