abstract="Foreign bodies (FBs) are routinely introduced into the breast for surgical intervention. A bizarre FB of the breast may result from physical trauma secondary to abuse. We report on a 34-year-old female who presented with a metal FB in the right breast and a suspicious history, which raised concern for gender-based violence (GBV). Traumatic breast injuries are relatively rare. A high index of suspicion is important when dealing with unusual breast injuries in order to investigate these appropriately and rule out abuse.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
