An unexpected outcome of radiotherapy planning in implant-based breast reconstruction: a case series
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 April 2011
Abstract
We describe two cases of cellulitis occurring around ink sites, following tattooing for adjuvant radiotherapy in two patients who had undergone latissimus dorsi-with-implant breast reconstructions. One patient was successfully treated with intravenous antibiotics. The second patient developed a peri-implant infection requiring implant removal. Patients with implant-based breast reconstructions should be warned of the potential infection risk of radiotherapy tattooing.
