Primary necrotizing fasciitis of the breast is a rare clinical condition and therefore a challenge for the clinical doctor. Its severity is associated with high morbidity and mortality.
Patients and Methods:
In the current article we present three cases that we treated in our surgical department with a combination of empirical antibiotic treatment, complete surgical debridement in stages, and negative pressure wound therapy.
Conclusions:
It appears that prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are key for the successful management of these cases. The recognition of early clinical signs as well as risk factors are issues of great importance. A high index of suspicion is required for the early diagnosis and treatment, aiming to the best outcome for the patient.
