Clinical Summary

Four months prior to admission, this 25-year-old female became aware of a lump beneath the areola of her right breast. Physical examination confirmed the presence of an approximately 3 cm movable, rubbery mass. An aspiration was attempted but did not yield any fluid or cells. At the time of surgical exploration, a well-circumscribed mass was identified and removed.
