Abstract

We report here the case of an immunosuppressed patient who developed multiple nodules in both breasts while on cyclosporine therapy. In this case, the benign appearance on imaging and benign clinical course made possible conservative management, thus avoiding invasive diagnostic procedures. For evaluation of these nodes, after cyclosporine was discontinued, the nodules involuted.
