Abstract :
Triple assessment approach for a breast mass may not always provide a definite diagnosis. Herein, we report a case of an unusual retro-areolar intramammary lump in a 47-year-old female, proved on excisional biopsy as an epidermal inclusion cyst (EIC). Deep-seated EIC rarely occurs in the breast and can cause diagnostic confusion even though a meticulous triple assessment approach and require a lumpectomy procedure both to establish a definitive diagnosis and relieve the patients’ anxiety.
Keywords: Epidermoid inclusion cyst, Breast cyst, Breast lump, Triple assessment approach, Lumpectomy, one-stop breast clinic.
