ABSTRACT

Necrotizing fasciitis is a serious condition that can be life-threatening through septic shock. Mammary localization is exceptional and the diagnosis and the diagnosis is often made late because of the frequent confusion of this form with breast abscesses. The management is multidisciplinary medical and surgical. The aesthetic damage constitutes the main therapeutic constraint due to the rapid extension of the necrotic lesions secondary to a massive thrombosis of the vessels running in the fascia territories. We report the case of a necrotizing fasciitis of the right breast in a diabetic woman aged 54 years and we describe the clinical features and therapeutic results of this rare form.
