Bilateral Spontaneously Resolving Galactocele in an 18 Month Old Boy: A Case Report
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Galactoceles in children, either cystic or pseudotumors, are described in the literature as a rare cause of increasing breast size and can appear in males. We report a case of galactocele in a 18-month-old male, treated at our institution. The patient presented with bilateral tumor breast that had appeared 6 months earlier with no pain, signs of inflammation, or nipple secretion. Twenty-nine cases found in the literature emphasize the importance of including galactocele in the differential diagnosis of benign breast masses in infancy.
