Abstract
A 21-year-old HIV-negative woman underwent nipple piercing in April 2008. During the summer of 2008, she swam in what she described as “nasty algae water.” She developed a painless lump in her left breast 1 month later. She denied experiencing any fever, chills, night sweats, or weight loss.
