Abstract
The increasing rate of breast reconstruction after modified radical mastectomy has led to the adoption of several techniques including transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap. Although the method creates a life-like breast both in texture and appearance, among other complications resulting from this operation, fat necrosis mimicking carcinoma on mammography clearly is common. We focus on the case history of 1 patient and detail our findings.
