Micro-AbstractA 20-year retrospective review of locoregional recurrences, secondary cancers, and atypical breast neoplasms after autologous tissue reconstruction for cancer of the breast identified an overall recurrence rate of 5.3%. The rate for secondary cancers was 1.2%. Survival rates after treatment for breast carcinomas were concordant with those reported in the literature.


Conclusion: Our retrospective review found incidence and survival after treatment of breast cancer concordant with reports in the literature. We also identified and analyzed secondary neoplasms, including a unique case of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma and metachronous recurrence of breast carcinoma. A case of recurrence as metaplastic carcinoma was identified.
