Multiple pathologic entities may produce complex cystic breast lesions. Ultrasound is presently the first primary modality in breast evaluation after physical palpitation. We report a progressive case of multiple cysts in a 32-year-old woman, ranging from 28 mm to 20 mm. Though in-situ milk (sono-penic) appears sterile, the superficial presentation (externally) is that of a firm mass. Due to the known hazards of radioactive mammography, this case report proves the usefulness of sonar to image, map, measure, identify and diagnose breast pathology. In women with dense-heavy breast, ultrasound examination will play an important role in screening palpable and non-palp- able masses. Keywords Galactocele, Cysts, Mass, Breast 1. Introduction A galactocele is a cyst that forms from the obstruction of a lactiferous duct within the breast. Galactocele appear similar to simple cysts but instead contain milk, they can mimic or have parallel features to fibro-adenoma, carcinoma and other breast lesions [1]. A galactocele is the most ubiquitous benign mass lesion diagnosed during lactation it may develop after stoppage of breastfeeding or neonate suckling when milk is stagnant [2].
