ABSTRACT
A 38 year old woman presented with pain in her left breast for last 8 days. She had a history of fall in road 8 days back. She was investigated with X-ray, ECG but no abnormality found. She was treated symptomatically, but got no relief. When we examined the patient, a stiff cord like structure was found deep in the lower outer quadrant of the left breast parenchyma. In the same old X-ray, a long thin pointed foreign body was seen in parallel and superimposed on an underline rib. The breast was explored under local anesthesia; a swing needle was found and removed. Foreign body like sewing needle in breast tissue is an extremely uncommon clinical condition; proper clinical examination and correlation with investigation can clinch the diagnosis early.
