antibiotic induced swelling....'oma' = tumour (swelling)

eg: breast

when an abscess occur in the breast and antibiotic was given, without even draining the abscess, the abscess cavity next will become fibrous and it result in firm to large lump in the breast.

this hard lump can be confused for malignancy.

to teat this... excision need to be done...
