Neonatal breast enlargement often occurs during the neonatal period is a common response which occurs under the influence of falling levels of maternal estrogen at the end of pregnancy [1]. This situation takes place in both sexes without prevalence, with sometimes milk secretion [4]. Spontaneous resolution requires reassuring parents [1-4]. Mastitis or abscess of the breast in the newborn is a rare condition which is observed in 5% of cases [3]. Staphylococcus aureus is the bacterium commonly responsible for all major of breast abscess [11]. Ultrasonography as an essential non-invasive diagnostic approach is well recognised as a first-line examination in the setting of breast abscess [6]. Our case illustrates the importance of rapid surgical management as a compliment to medical treatment and the ideal time to undertake surgical breastfeeding in order to avoid serious complications as generalized sepsis breast hypoplasia, and scarring [11].
