A 70-year-old woman, with a medical history of breast cancer treated with mastectomy 11 years before presentation, had a new firm mass in the contralateral breast (Figs 1, 2). The patient did not have nipple discharge or skin changes. Physical examination revealed a firm, nontender, mobile mass in the right lower outer quadrant at the 7-o’clock position. No axillary adenopathy was present. There was no skin thickening, skin or nipple retraction, or erythema. The patient did not have a history of trauma.
