WHAT IS NECROSIS AND WHY IT MATTERS
One of the most serious known consequences of blunt breast trauma is fat necrosis, sometimes described as tissue death in the fatty parts of the breast.
- Trauma to the breast can lead to lipid cysts and fat necrosis, which may appear months or years after the initial injury and can form hard, painful lumps.

Clinical review: https://clinmedjournals.org/articles/ijsem/international-journal-of-sports-and-exercise-medicine-ijsem-4-112.php - These fat necrosis lumps can mimic breast cancer on imaging, making diagnosis stressful and complicated for patients and clinicians.

Overview: https://theconversation.com/breast-injuries-are-common-for-female-athletes-heres-why-better-awareness-and-reporting-are-needed-209471 - The Cleveland Clinic explains that fat necrosis occurs when fatty tissue is damaged and dies, most commonly in the breast, often after trauma or surgery.
Patient info: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24187-fat-necrosis - Case reviews of breast trauma from falls, car crashes and other blunt-force events show sequelae including milk-duct injury, hematoma and pain, fat necrosis, asymmetry, nerve damage and scarring.

Although the evidence does not support breast trauma as a direct cause of breast cancer, fat necrosis and other trauma‑related changes can look very similar to cancer, cause chronic pain, deformity and anxiety, and require further imaging or procedures.
