Zineb Bennani*, Houda Souradi, Meriem Kriouile, Mounia Yousfi, Samir Bargach
ABSTRACT
Breast hematomas are an accumulation of blood in the breast. Although these can occur spontaneously, particularly in patients with hematological diseases or bleeding disorders, most are due to trauma or medical intervention, especially after a breast biopsy or surgery.
