Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Surgical Case Report

Background:

  • Foreign bodies in breast tissue are uncommon.
  • Potential complications include pain, abscess, granuloma, pneumothorax, and cardiac tamponade.

Observation:

  • A 44-year-old woman presented with a metallic foreign body in her right breast.
  • The object was detected via mammography during a routine breast cancer screening.
  • The foreign body had been present for at least five years and was missed in prior screenings.

Findings:

  • A 2 cm metallic foreign body was located in the upper-outer quadrant of the right breast.
  • The patient was asymptomatic prior to detection.
  • Successful surgical removal was achieved using wire-assisted techniques.

Implications:

  • Surgical removal of breast foreign bodies is recommended, even if asymptomatic.
  • Early detection and removal can prevent serious thoracic or local complications.
  • This case underscores the importance of thorough retrospective analysis in diagnostic imaging.
