A Case of Breast Cancer With Ulceration of a Reconstructed Nipple Due to Local Recurrence

Ulceration of a reconstructed nipple occurred in a woman in her 50s who had undergone mastectomy, axillary lymph node dissection, and deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap reconstruction for right breast cancer. The implanted cartilage was removed on suspicion of infection and the ulcer wa...

description Ulceration of a reconstructed nipple occurred in a woman in her 50s who had undergone mastectomy, axillary lymph node dissection, and deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap reconstruction for right breast cancer. The implanted cartilage was removed on suspicion of infection and the ulcer was biopsied. Local recurrence was identified on histopathological examination. Local recurrence near a reconstructed nipple can cause ulceration because of the fragility of the reconstructed nipple tissue. If erosion or ulceration develops in the reconstructed nipple relatively long after surgery, pathological examination is warranted.
