Abstract

We report a case of 57-years-old postmenopausal woman who was admitted to our clinic with right breast pain and swelling. She had no history of breast trauma or surgery. We observed a metallic foreign body in the ultrasonographic examination of the right breast which can not be seen in the direct X-ray graphy. Excisional biopsy was performed and a sewing needle was excised. Metallic foreign bodies within the breast are occasionally seen on mammograms and can mimic microcalcifications. The origin of these metallic particles can range from surgical clips, guide wire, gunshot wounds to sewing needle. The interest of this case is that in patients with breast pain or swelling, foreign bodies must be kept in mind if they have no history of trauma or breast surgery.

Özet

Bu yazıda 57 yaşında, kliniğimize sağ memede ağrı ve şişlik şikayeti ile başvuran, 57 yaşında postmenopozal bir kadın hasta sunulmuştur. Anamnezinde, memeye ait bir cerrahi girişim ya da herhangi bir travma öyküsü yoktu. Yapılan meme ultrasonografisinde, sağ memede metal yabancı cisim saptandı. Hastadaki bu yabancı cisim PA akciğer grafisinde görülmemekteydi. Eksizyonel biyopsi ile bu yabancı cisim çıkarıldı ve çıkan yabancı cismin dikiş iğnesi olduğu anlaşıldı. Memede metal yabancı cisimler genelde mamografide görülürler ve mikrokalsifikasyonları taklit ederler. Bu metalik parçaların kökeni cerrahi klip, kılavuz biyopsi teli, ateşli silah yaralarından, dikiş iğnelerine kadar uzanmaktadır. Bu olgu, memede ağrı ve şişlik şikayeti ile başvuran hastalarda, travma ya da cerrahi öyküsü olmasa da, yabancı cisim olasılığının akılda tutulması açısından önem taşımaktadır.
