BACKGROUND: @entity5472 is a seldom encountered disease of the breast. Based on the results of previous studies and our own experience, we investigated the clinical characteristics of @entity0 . METHOD: Four @entity1 who were treated for @entity0 at Samsung Medical Center were included in the study, and additional data were retrieved from the Index Medicus and the Science Citation Index (SCI). The Korean Medical (KM) database and the Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors (KAMJE) database were searched to include information from Korean journals that is not included in international citation indexes. RESULTS: Among 35 @entity1 , 8 (32%) had a record of oral ingestion of an intermediary host. All @entity1 presented with a breast mass, with migration in 6 cases (25%) and @entity158 or an itching sensation in 6 cases (25%). Elongated tubular structures were found in the subcutaneous layer in 22 cases (88%) during radiologic exam. All @entity1 underwent complete surgical excision. Twenty-seven of 29 (93.1%) @entity1 ' spargana was separated and confirmed grossly. Histologically, @entity32 was the most common feature. A single worm was extracted in 16 cases (76.2%) and 5 cases (23.8%) had multiple worms. CONCLUSION: @entity5472 tends to present as a suspicious mass in the subcutaneous layer of the breast. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice, with careful postoperative surveillance.
