We encountered a 53-year-old woman who developed a small nodule on her right antero-lateral chest wall after modified radical mastectomy. Excision biopsy of the mass lesion was performed, and pathological examination revealed a local recurrence in the pectoralis major muscle. Resection of the pectoralis major and minor muscles, subclavicular lymph nodes dissection and postoperative radiation therapy were performed. After operation, no local recurrence appeared, but the patient died of multiple liver and bone metastases two and a half years later., Acta medica Nagasakiensia. 1997, 42(3-4), p.58-60}, pages = {58--60}, title = {Local Recurrence in the Pectoralis Major Muscle Following Modified Radical Mastectomy for Breast Cancer}, volume = {42}, year = {1997} }
