Late Hematoma after Breast Augmentation Surgery: A Case Report

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Hematoma is a common complication that occurs usually during the early postoperative period of breast surgery. A late hematoma is, however, an extremely rare complication following breast augmentation surgery. We report a case of late hematoma triggered by excessive squeezing during sexual activity 2 years after breast augmentation. Ultrasound (US) showed a large, well-circumscribed heterogeneous lesion, partially surrounding the silicone prosthesis. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a huge hematoma around the prosthesis in the left breast associated with active bleeding from the internal mammary artery (IMA).
