A needle in the breast: a case report

摘要

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.
