Sentinel node mapping and biopsy in ectopic axillary breast cancer: A case report and review of the literature.

Sentinel lymph node mapping in patients with axillary breast carcinoma is technically challenging and poorly described in the literature. We report a patient with primary ectopic breast carcinoma of the axilla in whom concurrent peri-tumoral and intra-tumoral injection of radionuclide tracer allowed for identification and biopsy of sentinel lymph nodes.

Unusual recurrence of breast cancer in a BRCA-variant patient after fat grafting.

The oncologic safety of fat grafting procedures remains well-characterized in the recent literature; however, we recommend exercising vigilance when evaluating BRCA-positive and other patients at higher oncologic risk after reconstruction and fat grafting, whose cancer recurrence diagnosis may pose significant clinical challenges.
