title: Axillary lump: an unusual presentation of fat necrosis in the breast.
abstract: The clinical presentation of an axillary lump, in majority of cases, raises suspicion of an enlarged lymph node due to malignant causes. In this case report, we established a diagnosis of an axillary lump caused by fat necrosis. We present this case report with review of the literature to familiarize clinicians with this condition.
