description Cholesterol granuloma (CG) is an extremely rare benign condition that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of breast lesions suspected of being malignant. We present a case of a 55-year-old woman who presented with a nodule mass in the upper external quadrant of the right breast on a routine mammography examination. The described case is noticeable by the combination of multiple CGs in the lungs (with arterial hypertension and thrombocytopenia as a background) with breast presentation, which was associated ductal adenoma.
