Symptomatic Calcifications after Mastectomy: A Rare Case Report with a Review of the Literature

Original language description

Introduction: Symptomatic calcifications of the breast or skin after breast cancer surgeryand adjuvant radiotherapy are a rare entity, with only a few case reports published worldwide,reducing the patient&apos;s quality of life, whilst asymptomatic calcifications are a common finding onimaging methods. Case presentation: Herein, we present a rare case report of calcifications aftermastectomy and post-mastectomy radiation therapy causing chronic inflammation with ulcerationand fistula formation, with a two-step surgical approach consisting of excision with linear suture andexcision with the reconstruction using a thoraco-epigastric flap. Conclusions: To our knowledge, thisis the first publication proving the feasibility of this therapy in patients with symptomatic dystrophiccalcifications of the skin or the breast. Moreover, the article provides an up-to-date review of publishedstudies about symptomatic calcifications after breast cancer surgery and radiotherapy with a focuson the time of the clinical manifestation from the radiotherapy and the used radiotherapy scheme.
