A member asked:

Can rheumatoid vasculitis affect the tissue of the breast?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Incredibly rare: Some types of tissue breakdown look like vasculitis such as tissue necrosis related to hypercoagulable state induced by circulating anticoagulants or related to coumadin (warfarin).

See the doc!if breast is abnormal.
