Abstract

Mastectomy is an event that needs follow up. In this community, a report concerned recurrence in the mastectomy scar itself. Therefore, the present paper deals with metastasis beyond the midline itself, namely, spread across to an intramammary lymph node. It is considered here that interest in this location has long been delayed although its very existence was known as far back as 1892.
