Abstract
|
|
|
|
Most local recurrences following mastectomy with flap reconstruction develop in the superficial skin and subcutaneous fat layer or at the mastectomy site. However, there is a possibility of local recurrence in the reconstructed tissue with lymphangiogenesis into the reconstructed flap if the flap was harvested from a distant organ. We herein report a case of a patient with invasive carcinoma that exhibited extensive lymphovascular invasion and tumor emboli at the initial diagnosis and repeatedly recurred not only in the original breast skin and tissue, but also in the reconstructed flap.
