ABSTRACT
A study of surgery for breast cancer was performed to examine the influence of haematoma formation and radiotherapy on the development of mammographically detected scars. Fifty-nine women undergoing lumpectomy and radiotherapy were studied. Sixteen had mammographic scars 12 months after surgery. There was a correlation between postoperative haematoma formation and scarring (P = 0.03) but not between tumour size and scarring. The type of radiation therapy did not influence scar formation.
