Abstract
- A 43-year-old woman who had received kidney transplantation 2 years before was admitted for masses on both axilla. Masses had variable sizes, and were round or oval-shaped with echogenicity on breast ultrasound. Pathologic examination using fine needle aspiration showed masses were fibroadenoma, fibroadenoid hyperplasia, and fat necrosis. We switched cyclosporine to tacrolimus. After 6 months of conversion, breast masses decreased in size on the follow-up breast USG.
