Abstract
The migration of osteosynthesis material into the breast after shoulder surgery is rare. We report an unusual case of migration of a screw nail into the breast after performing Latarjet's procedure to treat recurrent dislocation of the shoulder. A lumpectomy was performed to remove the nail. The operative course of the patient was simple. The histological analysis of the sample reported granulomatous mastitis of the breast.
