Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec id="jso23505-sec-0001" sec-type="section"> <p>Breast reconstruction after mastectomy is most commonly performed with a prosthetic implant placed beneath the pectoralis major. Recurrence may rarely be identified in the subpectoral space where the implant was placed. We report a case of recurrent breast cancer after implant‐based reconstruction with isolated subpectoral recurrence discovered 5 years later during secondary revision of her reconstructed breast. <italic>J.
