A physical exploration presents a palpable mass of about 12 x 12 cm, painful soft consistency of the mobilization, located in upper outer quadrant of Spencer and tail of the left breast, without evidence of inflammatory signs, axillary adenomegalias or discharge from the nipple. The mastography shows a nodule, lobed, with fat density, bounded by a dense capsule; the ultrasound shows a texture similar to fat. Results.
