Abstract
Introduction:
A needle in the breast tissue is very rarely encountered in clinical practice.
Case Presentation:
A 21-year-old woman presented with a needle in her right breast. She was operated on under fluoroscopic guidance. The needle was removed successfully.
Conclusion:
Because of the risk of migration of the needle into the thoracic cavity and adjacent vital organs, patients with a needle in their breast tissue must be treated surgically.
