Galactocele in a Lactating Woman: A Case Report.

Abstract

Galactoceles, benign cystic lesions filled with milk, are a rare but important entity encountered in lactating women. This case report discusses the clinical presentation, imaging findings, and management of a galactocele in a 32-year-old primigravida. The patient presented with a palpable breast lump during lactation, prompting further investigation. Imaging studies, including ultrasound, mammography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), played a crucial role in confirming the diagnosis. The treatment involved a conservative approach with aspiration, and the patient demonstrated a favorable outcome. This report emphasizes the significance of a multidisciplinary approach to diagnose and manage galactoceles in lactating women.
