Keywords:
Antibiotics, debridement, polymicrobial infectionAbstract
Necrotizing fasciitis(NF) is a progressive infection of skin and soft tissues that can involve anterior abdominal
wall, perianal region, scrotum, and extremities, but bilateral breast involvement is extremely rare. To prevent
morbidity and mortality, early diagnosis and proper treatment are essential. We report a case of NF of the
bilateral breast in a 20-year-old female patient who presented with sudden onset of pain and blackish
discoloration of skin of both the breasts.
