Abstract

Breast abscess usually occurs during lactation and the responsible organism is often S.Aureus. Breast abscess in non-lactating women is extremely rare and limited data is available in the literature regarding this entity. In our study, a 36-year-old non-lactating female patient who developed bilateral breast abscess due to E.coli infection without any predisposing factors has been discussed in light of the literature.
