Lateral Intercostal Artery Perforator Flap to Treat Pure Cutaneous Recurrence After Breast-Conserving Surgery: A Case Report

Pure cutaneous recurrence after breast-conserving surgery is rare and presents a unique challenge to clinicians. Some carefully selected patients may be amenable to further breast-conserving therapy. We present the case of a 45-year-old female with a cutaneous recurrence of previously treated right...

description Pure cutaneous recurrence after breast-conserving surgery is rare and presents a unique challenge to clinicians. Some carefully selected patients may be amenable to further breast-conserving therapy. We present the case of a 45-year-old female with a cutaneous recurrence of previously treated right breast cancer along the operative scar in the upper outer quadrant. The patient underwent a further wide local excision with lateral intercostal artery perforator flap with a skin paddle reconstruction. We achieved volume replacement with this technique, disease control, and a pleasing cosmetic result.
