After multiple observations, the patient was very concerned about carcinoma and wanted to have this area excised.Surgical Technique: The patient was lying down supine. The left breast was scrubbed with Betadine scrub and paint and draped in the classical fashion. The patient has a transverse incision near where we are feeling this lump, which was about the 11 o’clock position, high up in the superior aspect of the left breast.

All counts were normal.It was the impression of the pathologist that it represented a benign process in the left breast.
