Palpitations
It is only noticable when palpitated. Since I have no "breast tissue" (it was all removed during a double mastectomy) - i just check it to make sure it hasn't changed in size. It is actually softening up, IMO. [cancercompass.com]

Breast Mass
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The US features of 31 breast masses in 23 patients were reviewed. Fat necrosis was diagnosed on the basis of histologic (n 20) and initial or follow-up (minimum follow-up, 15 months) mammographic (n 11) findings. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup
Fat-fluid level when observed [Figure 2] is due to oil and serosanguinous fluid layering. [6] Benign lucent-centered calcification, a characteristic late stage feature [2] [Figure 3], also requires no additional workup. [4], [6] Figure 1: A 32-year-old [ijri.org]
However, eccentric breast masses as well as solid and cystic masses in male patients are usually suspicious, and workup should be initiated if encountered, according to Dr. [auntminnie.com]

Treatment Fat necrosis and oil cysts usually don’t need to be treated. Sometimes fat necrosis goes away on its own. If a needle aspiration is done to remove the fluid in an oil cyst, it can also serve as treatment. [cancer.org]
Prognosis
Springer Science & Business Media, ٢٠/٠٢/٢٠٠٤ - 150 من الصفحات Widespread use of mammography results in detection of small cancers with favorable prognosis, as well as an array of indeterminate lesions, the majority of which turn out to be histologically [books.google.com]
It usually has a better prognosis than carcinoma. Noncircumscribed masses include primary breast cancer (ductal, lobular), Paget's disease, lymphoma, metastasis, myofibroblastoma, fat necrosis, and nodular faciitis. [auntminnie.com]
Etiology
Applicable To Fat necrosis (segmental) of breast Code First Code First Help Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10data.com]

The most common etiology of fat necrosis is trauma, although a variety of other causes have been reported, including collagen vascular disease and myeloproliferative disorders. [healio.com]

Pathophysiology
Here's part of their answer: "The pathophysiology of this lesion seems to involve early development of liquefaction of mammary fat with the formation of a cystic mass. [forums.studentdoctor.net]
The follow-up imaging features of fat necrosis which mirror its pathophysiological evolution have also been demonstrated. To summarize, in the appropriate clinical setting, no mammographic features suspicious for malignancy should be present. [ijri.org]
Although several theories exist, the exact pathophysiology resulting in fat necrosis has not yet been illustrated. Regardless of the cause, these firm areas can alter the aesthetic result as well as be painful to the patient. [aaps1921.org]
Prevention
The use of preventative drugs such as tamoxifen may also be considered in some women with AH. [stmichaelshospital.com]

As illustrated in our case, fat necrosis is often encapsulated, which is thought to help prevent extension and spread of the inflammatory lesion into surrounding tissues (5). [edmcasereports.com]
