Abstract: IntroductionMetallic foreign bodies (MFB) within the breast develop out of surgical clips, broken pieces of guide-wires and gunshot injuries (GSI) (1). As such, metallic foreign bodies can cause local breast pain, abscess, cardiac tamponade, granuloma or pneumothorax, which are clinically significant (1-2). In this report, we aim to present a 35-year-old female patient diagnosed with a metallic foreign body in the left breast as the second case in the literature in which radio-guided occult lesion localization… Show more

“…In some cases, surgical material (e.g., markers/clips transected localising wires, surgical swabs or biopsy needle tips) may unintentionally be left in the breast following diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. 1,2 Bizarre, non-iatrogenic FBs of the breast are uncommon and may be introduced as a result of physical trauma, 3 such as gender-based violence (GBV), or may be self-inflicted in patients with psychiatric disorders. 3 These injuries are often incidentally found during routine mammography.…”

“…There are no documented cases of TASER probes embedded in the breast; however, common metallic foreign bodies of the breast include surgical clips, guidewire and bullets. These can clinically manifest with pain, infection/abscess, pneumothorax, granuloma and cardiac tamponade 1 . Albeit TASER‐associated injury is uncommon in Australia and New Zealand, TASER embedment is a unique presentation without clear management guidelines.…”
