Spontaneous infarction of physiologically hyperplastic breast tissue or of an adenoma-fibroadenoma presenting as breast mass during pregnancy or in the early postpartum period is a recognized but rare clinical pathologic entity.

We report four additional cases of breast infarction associated with pregnancy, review the literature, and discuss possible etiologies and pathogenesis of this uncommon event.
