Importance. Breast lesions usually are not visible on radiography. Case Report. We report the finding of a breast incidentaloma on a chest X-ray of a symptomatic patient with pneumonia. Subsequent studies have shown that it is a radiopaque fibroadenoma. Conclusions and Relevance. The case is unique and without a similar report in the medical literature. It should raise the need for doctors to have multiple incidences and pay close attention to the minutiae of imaging tests.	1 - State University of Mato Grosso do Sul. 2 - Health Department of Curitiba. 3 - Vila Almeida Emergency Care Unit in Campo Grande.
