Intraductal Membranous Fat Necrosis in a Fibroadenoma: A Case Report

International Journal of Surgical Pathology

Published online on

Abstract

Membranous fat necrosis is an unusual type of fat necrosis occurring in the breast and normally involves the parenchyma. This report describes an apparently unique intraductal focus in a fibroadenoma following prior needling. Displacement of fatty tissue in the form of membranous fat necrosis within ducts could be added to the list of histological features following core biopsy.
