Abstract
The recent use of placing a BioZorb device during breast conservation surgery has been shown to improve targeting of adjuvant radiation therapy by significantly reducing target volume to the breast. However, the risks of surgical and/or infectious complications related to a BioZorb placement are largely unknown. In this case report, we describe a patient who underwent BioZorb placement after breast lumpectomy for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), who presented with repeated infections and eventual erosion of the BioZorb through her nipple-areolar complex (NAC), requiring surgical debridement and excision of her NAC and BioZorb 1year postoperatively.
