“…The cases of pneumomastia that have been previously described [1,2,3,4,5] have mostly been due to a transient, iatrogenic cause such as direct instrumentation of the breast during surgery, mechanical ventilation, thoracic surgery, or spread of emphysema from laparoscopic insufflation, in the absence of an underlying continuous driving pathology (necrotising infection [6], oesophageal perforation, and pneumothorax can also cause pneumomastia, but usually cause abnormalities on examination). In this case there was a bronchopleural fistula which would have provided a continuous source of air to fill the breast.…”

Background: Pneumomastia is air within the breast parenchyma. A number of causes have been reported for this condition. This case report describes a new cause and details of the management strategy applied, together with a review of the literature. Case Report: We describe a case of acute breast swelling in a 40-year-old woman and its subsequent successful conservative management. Conclusion: Bronchopleural fistula after thoracotomy is a risk, and can cause pneumomastia. This is more likely to occur after redo thoracic surgery. Pneumomastia after repeat thoracotomy can be managed conservatively, even in the presence of a bronchopleural fistula.

“…A mastoplastia de aumento tem se tornado muito comum devido a grande procura pelas pacientes, motivadas, talvez, por uma mudança cultural em relação ao tamanho das mamas, associada à pressão por parte da mídia [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] .…”

Garcia AMC et al. Mastoplastia de aumento periareolar com descolamento subfascial rombo Subfascial periareolar breast augmentation undermining using breast dissector RESUMO Introdução: O uso dos implantes de gel de silicone para o aumento do volume das mamas marcou uma nova era na história da Cirurgia Plástica. A abordagem inicial pelo sulco submamário foi estendida para incisões axilares e na região areolar. A posição do implante com relação ao músculo peitoral também apresentou variações. Objetivo: Descrever o uso do descolamento mamário subfascial rombo através de uma abordagem periareolar inferior e transmamária, praticado com um afastador articulado. Método: Vinte e seis pacientes com hipomastia foram estudadas de janeiro a setembro 2009. Todas foram submetidas a mastoplastia de aumento com prótese de gel de silicone via areolar inferior através de uma abordagem periareolar inferior e transmamária, praticada com um afastador articulado para as gluteoplastias de aumento sem auxílio videoendoscópico. Resultados: A idade média foi de 29,96 anos. Todos os casos apresentaram boa evolução. O tamanho médio das próteses foi de 294,80 ml. Houve deiscência parcial em apenas um caso e total bilateral em outro. Não houve formação de hematomas ou infecção. Conclusão: O uso do descolamento rombo subfascial mamário, praticado com descolador articulado, por via areolar inferior mostrou ser uma alternativa factível, relativamente rápida, segura e reprodutível para a colocação de implantes de silicone nas mastoplastias de aumento. Descritores: Mama/cirurgia. Mamoplastia. Implante mamário/métodos. SUMMARY Background: The usage of textured silicone prosthesis in breast augmentation has marked a new era in the history of Plastic Surgery. The initial approach using the inframammary fold was extended to axillary or periareolar incisions. Even the position of the implants has varied concerning the pectoralis major muscle. Objective: To describe the use of subfascial periareolar breast augmentation undermining using a breast dissector. Methods: Twenty six patients with hypommasty were studied from January to September 2009. All of them were submitted to breast augmentation surgery with silicone implant using a subfascial periarealar pathway without endoscopic assistance. Results: The medium age was 29.96 years old. The medium silicone prosthesis volume used was 294.80 ml. The patients post surgical evolution was considered good. We have no infection or hematoma. There was 1 case of partial dehiscence and one case of total and bilateral dehiscence. Conclusion: The subfascial periareolar breast augmentation undermining using a breast dissector appears to be an alternative which provides a rapid, safe and reproducible surgical for breast augmentation surgery using silicone implants.

“…The normal radiographic appearance of the breast tissue on a CT scan can reveal varying densities, such as entirely fatty, scattered areas of fibroglandular density, heterogeneously dense and extremely dense as per the updated fifth version of the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) glossary [2]. Air in the breast tissue is a rare finding on imaging and has been occasionally seen after procedures on the breast, such as breast augmentation [3]. Anaerobic infection such as gangrene of the breast is another cause of air in the breast and would commonly be associated with constitutional signs of infection [4].…”

Air in the Breast: A Rare Cause of Iatrogenic Pneumomastia

Air in the breast tissue (pneumomastia) is a rare finding, more so without any history of procedures on the breast. We report the case of an 80-year-old lady who was found to have foci of gas in her right breast on a CT scan. On exclusion of other possible causes for the same, it was concluded that the air in the breast tissue was secondary to a peripheral intravenous line placement. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pneumomastia as a complication of peripheral intravenous line placement.
