A member asked:

How long should visit for necrotic breast lump last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info.: 1) "necrotic breast lump" means, to me at least, a tumor that has outgrown its blood supply and died. This is usually a diagnosis made after surgery. 2) what kind of visit are you referring to?...Preop visit?...Operation?....Postoperative? I'm sorry that i couldn't be more helpful but there are too many "missing pieces" here.
