Fungal mastitis. Case report.
Fungal (cryptococcal) mastitis in a young woman seemed to be a systemic manifestation of the infection, since it recurred contralaterally within 4 months. Diagnostic problems are discussed. Only two previous reports of deep mammary mycosis were found. In addition to excision, ketoconazole is recommended to prevent recurrence or serious complications.
