An unusual cause of a breast mass in a 13-year-old girl: a case report

Background Adolescents rarely present with breast lumps, and such lumps are usually due to benign causes. Foreign bodies in the breast are an uncommon finding and could be detected incidentally during imaging or be symptomatic and present as a painful mass. Sometimes they cause diagnostic dilemmas as they mimic malignancies. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case reported in the literature about an abscess caused by a migrating retained temporary epicardial pacing wire.
