    Abstract:
    Described is a case of infarctions in fibroadenomas of the breast that occurred during pregnancy, with a review of the pertinent literature and a brief discussion on the difficulty of achieving a cytologic diagnosis. A 24-year-old female presented tender lumps that increased in size in her breast during the 7 months of her pregnancy. A subsequent cytologic examination revealed many typical cells with clustered nude nuclei. The cytologic diagnosis indicated a Group V, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Following delivery of her infant, the lumps were excised. Microscopic examination revealed extensive infarcted fibroadenomas with lactational changes.
