“…The major predisposing factors involved in the development of galactocele are a secretory breast epithelium, the presence of prolactin stimulation, and some forms of ductal obstruction . Some cases of galactocele have also reported in male infant with hyperprolactenemia, accessory breast tissue in the axilla, nulliparous woman with prolactinemia, postmenopausal woman, and following augmentation mammoplasty …”

Galactocele is a common lesion occurring during pregnancy or lactation. It is a benign cystic breast lesion containing milk. On Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology, milky fluid is aspirated, and cytology shows paucicellular aspirate with foamy macrophages and occasional apocrine cells in a proteinaceous fluid background. Rarely, the contents of galactocele can crystallize giving rise to an entity of crystallizing galactocele. Crystallizing galactocele is a rare entity, and to the best of our knowledge, less than 10 cases have been reported in the literature.

“…[ 6 ] The long standing galactocele in our case may have been a good soil for the formation of crystals. Till date only 8 cases of crystallizing galactocele[ 1 3 4 5 6 7 ] describing cytological features have been reported in literature. Our case report is the ninth case, which has reported this unusual finding.…”

Crystallising galactocele of the breast: a rare cytological diagnosis

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Galactocele of the breast is a benign condition characterised by milk containing cystic lesions, usually present during pregnancy and lactation. The diagnosis of galactocele is difficult due to physiological changes which occur during pregnancy and lactation. Fine needle aspiration cytology proves to be a simple and minimally invasive procedure in diagnosing and treating this condition. Very rarely, long-standing galactoceles can show crystal formation on aspirate smears, termed as crystallising galactocele. Herein, we present this rare case of crystallising galactocele in a 26-year-old lactating woman. We are reporting this case because of its rarity, as less than 10 cases have been reported so far.
