Foreign bodies in the breast are rarely encountered and may infrequently lead to complications such as persistent breast pain, abscess, and/or granuloma formation, pneumothorax, or cardiac tamponade. We aimed to present a case with a foreign body in her right breast, which was diagnostically missed in previous screenings. A 44-year-old asymptomatic woman, who was included in the national breast cancer screening program, was found to have a 2 cm-sized metallic foreign body in the upper-outer quadrant of her right breast via mammographic imaging. Retrospective clinical evaluations revealed that the foreign body had been present in her breast for at least five years. She was successfully treated via wire-assisted surgery. Although they may remain asymptomatic for long periods, foreign bodies detected in the breast are suggested to be surgically removed due to the possibility of considerable subsequent local or thoracic complications.
乳房内的异物很少见，可能偶尔会导致诸如持续性乳房疼痛、脓肿和/或肉芽肿形成、气胸或心脏压塞等并发症。我们旨在介绍一例右乳有异物的病例，该异物在之前的筛查中被漏诊。一名44岁无症状女性参加了国家乳腺癌筛查项目，通过乳腺钼靶成像发现其右乳外上象限有一个2厘米大小的金属异物。回顾性临床评估显示，该异物在她乳房内至少已存在五年。她通过钢丝辅助手术成功治愈。尽管乳房内检测到的异物可能长期无症状，但由于随后可能出现严重的局部或胸部并发症，建议手术取出。
