Abstract

Six women who sustained injury to a breast from seatbelt straps during road traffic accidents are presented. In three the breast contained a carcinoma. In view of the overlap of the appearance of fat necrosis and carcinoma by clinical and radiological examination all such lesions should be biopsied to exclude carcinoma as the history of the lesion can be dangerously misleading.
