View in English: Fat necrosis
Necrosis grasa
Afección benigna por la que el tejido adiposo de la mama u otros órganos se daña por una lesión, cirugía o radioterapia. El tejido adiposo de la mama puede ser reemplazado por un quiste o por tejido cicatrizal, que se puede palpar como una masa redonda y firme. La piel alrededor de la masa puede tener aspecto rojo, magullado o con hoyuelos.
