    Area of Science:

    • Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Fungal infections of the breast are uncommon.
    • Cryptococcal mastitis is a rare form of deep mammary mycosis.

    Observation:

    • A case of cryptococcal mastitis in a young woman presented as a systemic infection.
    • The infection recurred contralaterally within four months, suggesting a systemic manifestation.

    Findings:

    • Diagnostic challenges in identifying deep mammary mycosis were noted.
    • Only two prior reports of deep mammary mycosis were identified in the literature.

    Implications:

    • Surgical excision combined with systemic antifungal therapy, such as ketoconazole, is recommended.
    • This approach aims to prevent recurrence and manage serious complications of fungal mastitis.
