Evaluation of giant galactocele with ultrasound and shearwave elastography findings

Giant galactocele is a rare bening cystic form of milk products of the breast. Giant galactocele’s sonographic features are described in many reports, but shear wave elastography (SWE) findings are not fully known. Galactocele ultrasound findings have been described, but some lesions are confusing. SWE may show a hard tissue-like finding in the galactocele and may be confused with malignancy especially in the chronic lesions. In the present case report, we aimed to present routine sonographic and SWE findings of a giant galactocele in a 29 year old woman.
