A 47-year-old immunocompromised patient was admitted with a 19-day history of worsening pain and swelling in her right breast. She did not improve with an empirical course of oral flucloxacillin. An ultrasound-guided aspiration of the lesion was performed, as well as a CT scan of her thorax, abdomen and pelvis.
