  Will give rise to a painless and hard breast lump with tethering of the skin, skin ulceration, peau du orange appearance,nipple retraction, bloody nipple discharge and co-existent axillary and/or cervical lymphadenopathy. [explainmedicine.com]

• 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]

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]

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]

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]
