Breast abscess mimicking malignant mass due to retained penrose drain: diagnosis by mammography and MRI.
We report a breast mass associated with a foreign body mimicking malignancy on mammography. Although retained penrose drains have been reported in other parts of the body, our case is the first report of a retained penrose drain in breast diagnosed by mammography. Mammography can be used if there is suspicion of a retained penrose drain during the course of breast abscess treatment.
