- Abstract:
- After twenty-five years of therapy with different unifocal pacemaking systems, an 84-year old male patient developed a nonseptic pacemaker decubitus. A rare incidental finding of invasive ductal carcinoma of the right mammary gland was surgically treated by a generous excision of the tumor and by consecutive modified radical mastectomy. According to published literature, the association of invasive ductal carcinoma arising from a pacemaker pocket decubitus and followed by curative treatment has not been previously reported. We do conclude that pacemaker generators in close relationship to the mammary gland should be considered with suspicion.
