Abstract

Breast conserving therapy was carried out for a patient with early breast cancer after augmentation mammoplasty. A 52-year-old woman, who had undergone augmentation mammoplasty bilaterally seven years ago, noticed a small tumor in her right breast. As ultrasonography suggested a malignanct tumor, excisional biopsy was performed. The histopathological diagnosis was malignant. Breast conserving surgery with removal of the bag prosthesis was selected. We report a rare case with breast conseving therapy for a patient with breast cancer after augmentation mammoplasty.
