Cholesterol granuloma of the breast is an infrequent benign lesion with clinical and radiological findings suggestive of cancer. Herein, we present the case of a 52-year-old woman with no significant past medical history, who presented to the outpatient department for her routine breast screening. Physical examination revealed a painless palpable nodule in the upper external quadrant of the left breast, measuring 0.7 cm. On imaging, the mass met the criteria for Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 4B. Subsequently, a core needle biopsy of the mass was performed. Despite the alarming radiologic features, microscopic findings were consistent with breast cholesterol granuloma.
乳房胆固醇肉芽肿是一种罕见的良性病变，其临床表现和影像学表现提示为癌症。在此，我们报告了一例 52 岁女性的病例，她无明显的既往病史，因常规乳房筛查到门诊就诊。体格检查发现左乳房外上象限可触及一无痛可触及的结节，大小为 0.7 厘米。影像学检查显示肿块符合乳腺影像报告和数据系统 (BI-RADS) 4B 类标准。随后对肿块进行了空心针活检。尽管影像学特征令人担忧，但显微镜下的发现与乳腺胆固醇肉芽肿一致。
