ABSTRACT

Introduction: mastitis and neonatal breast abscess are rare conditions. Objective: to present the case of a female newborn with a breast abscess. Case presentation: the patient was admitted at nine days of age with enlargement of the left mammary gland, accompanied by erythema, induration, and nipple discharge. Medical treatment with antimicrobials and local measures was sufficient to resolve the condition. Conclusions: breast abscess is a condition that requires a comprehensive clinical evaluation to establish the diagnosis and provide timely treatment.
