Abstract
Galactoceles are benign cystic lesions that contain collostrum or milk, generally occur during pregnancy and postpartum lactation. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) yields milky fluid that is often both diagnostic and therapeutic. Cytologically, aspirates generally contain occasional foam cells and benign epithelium that displays lactational change with an abundant background of lipid micelles and proteinaceous material. This is the case which showed features of crystallizing galactocele.
