ABSTRACT

Nowadays, breast surgery has increased considerably whether it is for aesthetic or reconstructive purposes, such as augmentation, reduction or mastopexy, and the oncological procedures such as cuadrantectomy and mastectomy. There is a pathology described a long time ago, which is not diagnosed or diagnosed incorrectly many times by physicians. It consists of a superficial thrombophlebitis of one or more veins of the anterior chest wall, which generally occurs in the second or third week of the postoperative stage. The natural history of this disease causes spontaneous remission with or without treatment. It prevails in females and usually occurs between 21 and 66 years old with no predominance of race. It usually occurs unilaterally and is characterized by the presence of pain in the thrombosed venous pathway with fibrotic cord visible to exploration that becomes more evident when thoracic limbs are raised. Usually it has no systemic affection but there may be hyperemia, fever and lymphadenopathy. This pathology has a benign evolution to healing, and is self-limited clinically. It has been proven that the time of healing decreases if an steroid or non steroid anti inflammatory is used, accompanied with an antibiotic. This paper presents a case of bilateral breast augmentation with silicone implants placed under the glands. Three weeks after the surgery, the patient showed a favorable evolution. The treatment was with local measures, painkillers and anti inflammatory drugs. Healing occurred with no sequelae.
