Abstract
Association of an abscess with breast cancer is quite uncommon. Breast abscess encountered in a non-lactating woman should be considered as a malignancy until proven otherwise. A case of malignancy of the breast presenting as an abscess is presented along with a novel technique of mastectomy in such uncommon cases.
