    Author: Stroz MJ, Isupov I, Nofech-Mozes S, Curpen B.
    Journal: Breast J; 2020 Feb; 26(2):258-260. PubMed ID: 31495023.
    Abstract:
    Fat necrosis of the breast is a common and benign entity, often secondary to trauma, surgery, radiation therapy, or unknown etiologies. Critically ill patients with septic shock may experience end-organ hypoperfusion and tissue infarction and necrosis, which may result in breast fat necrosis, however, to the best of our knowledge this has not been previously described. We report a case of biopsy-proven breast fat necrosis secondary to septic shock following an emergency surgery in a postmenopausal female.
