Evaluation of Giant Galactocele With Ultrasound and Shearwave Elastography Findings

Abstract

Giant galactocele is a rare bening cystic form of milk products of the breast. Giant galactocele’s sonographic features are described inmany reports, but shear wave elastography (SWE) findings are not fully known. Galactocele ultrasound findings have been described,but some lesions are confusing. SWE may show a hard tissue-like finding in the galactocele and may be confused with malignancyespecially in the chronic lesions. In the present case report, we aimed to present routine sonographic and SWE findings of a giantgalactocele in a 29 year old woman.
