Résumé
When there is extensive breast cancer, patients typically undergo mastectomy. However, lumpectomy may still be performed for patients who are motivated to avoid a mastectomy and understand the risk for positive margins requiring second surgery in unique cases. This report details the surgical management and clinical reasoning behind lumpectomy for a multicentric breast cancer spanning 5 cm. The lumpectomy was a success with negative margins on final pathology.
