Abstract
Breast gangrene is a rare but possible complication of inadequate breast abscess drainage in a lactating mother. Associated with very devastating physical and psychological consequences. Fulminating infection of the breast can lead to gangrene quickly if breast abscess is treated with inadequate drainage of pus. We present the case of a young lactating mother who was operated for Breast abscess. Inadequate drainage of the abscess led to breast gangrene within 4 days. A high index of suspicion of breast abscess is necessary in a lactating mother who complains of breast pain and fever. Breast abscess should be adequately drained with appropriate antibiotics cover.
