Breast fat necrosis is a non-suppurative inflammation of adipose tissue caused by the disruption of oxygen supply to fat cells, ultimately leading to cell death. It is commonly present in female patients who undergo breast procedures, although it can also be associated with malignancy. In non-surgical patients, the most common etiology is trauma. This activity reviews the etiology, pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of breast fat necrosis in surgical patients.
