Residual Breast Sarcoma Left to Heal by Secondary Intention Following Wide Local Excision: An Unorthodox Approach to a Rare Malignancy.

Breast sarcomas remain a rare malignancy and are noted to portend a particularly dismal prognosis. Due to their high rates of recurrence, a surgical excision with negative margins remains the preferred treatment modality. Nevertheless, their sparse prevalence often poses a diagnostic conundrum. In this report, we chronicle the case of a 46-year-old female with a recurrent breast sarcoma that was treated with wide local excision. Interestingly, no flap reconstruction, skin graft surgery, or primary wound closure was performed, and the resultant wound was left to heal by secondary intention. The patient continues to do well to date, with no postoperative complications.
