A 42 years old female from Chouhat presented with undiagnosed firmness of the breast which she had noted. Her mother had earlier been treated for breast cancer in our unit more than 25 years earlier. On examination, the nipple retraction was obvious, but FNAC had reported no malignancy. This was perhaps because on palpation no discrete hard mass (as one would find typically) was palpable and so the needle missed the target.
