Parasitization of the pedicle: a rare form of TRAM flap recurrence

Local recurrence after mastectomy and autologous breast reconstruction is uncommon and tends to occur predictably within the superficial tissues or at the chest wall. We present a unique case of breast cancer recurrence involving the superficial and deep tissues. By parasitizing the pedicle of a fre...

Sumario:Local recurrence after mastectomy and autologous breast reconstruction is uncommon and tends to occur predictably within the superficial tissues or at the chest wall. We present a unique case of breast cancer recurrence involving the superficial and deep tissues. By parasitizing the pedicle of a free transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap pedicle, the tumour was seen to extend through the chest wall to the right pleura.
