[Post-traumatic panniculitis (decubitus ulcer?) of the breast--a clinical case].

The authors describe the case of an eighty-year-old woman. Several hours of pressure on the right breast during a coma was the cause of inflammation which appeared to be phlegmon or inflammatory breast cancer. Histological examination excluded a malignant process and general treatment was to administer corticosteroids with antimicrobial drugs which resulted in the recovery of the patient.
