Presentation
Presently described is rare case of warfarin-induced breast hematoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Physicians should be aware of this possibility in patients under anticoagulant treatment presenting with sudden onset of breast pain and a palpable mass. Repeat imaging is mandatory until complete clinical and imaging resolution of the hematoma. [doi.org]
Case Report A 61-year-old woman with a 7-year medical history of treated hypertension, recurrent gastritis, and obesity (body mass index, 30.7) presented in May 2010 with ductal infiltrating breast cancer. [academic.oup.com]
Here, we describe a patient who presented in extremis with multiple injuries including a rapidly expanding breast hematoma necessitating urgent surgical intervention. [journals.lww.com]

Skin Discoloration
Breast hematomas can sometimes lead to skin discoloration, inflammation, or fever. When a hematoma resolves, it may become fibrotic, leaving behind scar tissue. A resolving hematoma may liquify to form a seroma. [en.wikipedia.org]
Apply some warm honey overnight on the region where the skin discoloration has occurred and let the skin absorb the same until it is dry. Wash the same with some lukewarm water in the morning. 10. [ladycarehealth.com]
it is not cancerous, but it can lead to other problems like pain, inflammation, skin discoloration, fever and formation of a scar. [home-remedies-for-you.com]
It is not cancerous, but can sometimes lead to inflammation, fever, skin discoloration, and may leave behind scar tissue that mimics the shape of a breast tumor. It may be caused by trauma, or procedures such as a breast biopsy or breast surgery. [verywell.com]
Skin discoloration is also a common side-effect. Special concern must be noted for women with any medical history of hemopathy and coagulation disorders, or those taking anticoagulant drugs. [breast-cancer.ca]

Breast Mass
Hematoma Versus Tumors In the case of a questionable breast mass, such as a hematoma that caused scar tissue and resembles a tumor, it is usually sufficient to do an ultrasound after an abnormal mammogram to see if there is a hematoma. [verywell.com]
Ultrasonography: an alternative to x-ray-guided needle localization of nonpalpable breast masses. Surgery 1988; 104(5):870–873 PubMed Google Scholar 24. Harlow SP, Krag DN, Ames SE, Weaver DL. [link.springer.com]
Workup
Additional mammographic projections (tangential, compression, and/or magnification views), comparison with prior mammograms, clinical breast examination, and ultrasonography are helpful in the workup. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
Larger hematomas often require treatment to prevent secondary complications. Treatment may include repetitive needle aspirations, CT guided drain placement or occasionally open surgical drainage. [realself.com]
Treatment The treatment path recommended for breast hematoma may vary, depending on factors like the size, cause and location. [home-remedies-for-you.com]
Breast Hematoma Treatment Depending on the size of the hematoma, the doctor may suggest several breast hematoma treatments. Surgery is a common treatment option, although most hematomas disappear on their own depending on size. [health.in4mnation.com]

The reported sonographic spectrum includes: fluid collection solid nodule cystic nodule diffuse parenchymal abnormalities calcified nodule Treatment and prognosis Although benign, it requires careful interpretation in the correct clinical context. [radiopaedia.org]
Prognosis
The reported sonographic spectrum includes: fluid collection solid nodule cystic nodule diffuse parenchymal abnormalities calcified nodule Treatment and prognosis Although benign, it requires careful interpretation in the correct clinical context. [radiopaedia.org]
Despite this, the prognosis is comparable to that of ductal carcinoma. Ref: Lobular breast carcinoma. Transverse. [ultrasoundpaedia.com]
When comparing women with breast implants to those without implants, breast cancer studies do not show any differences in the stage of disease at the time of diagnosis; and the prognosis is similar for women with, and without, implants. [mybreastaugmentation.info]
Etiology
Various etiologies have been proposed, usually relating to history of trauma, anticoagulant use, or physical strain. [academic.oup.com]
The points to be discussed are the location, the etiology, the responsible dose, and the indicated management. Some characteristics of this condition are known but our understanding of the mechanism is not sufficient. [ispub.com]

Pathophysiology
We also discuss the possible pathophysiological mechanisms of this phenomenon. [academic.oup.com]
The pathophysiology of postsurgical changes, as observed on mammograms, is associated with the type of surgical intervention and the time elapsed since the procedure. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
Warfarin is the most commonly used oral anticoagulant and is widely prescribed to prevent thromboembolic events. Warfarin-dependent spontaneous breast hematoma is a very rare complication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Taking the herb Arnica montana may also prevent hematomas from forming. Although patients may be concerned that they will need to undergo a revision surgery if a hematoma forms, the chances of this are very unlikely. [crawfordplasticsurgery.com]
Eating foods rich in vitamin K will help prevent massive blood loss arising from breast augmentation complications. Avoid bumping, compressing or massaging the breast after surgery. [health.in4mnation.com]
Surgical drainage and a course of antibiotics will help prevent an infection from starting. [cosmeticsurgeryforums.com]
