Abstract: 
The late functional and aesthetic impact of breast neoplasia treatment partly reflects the consequences of high- dose irradiation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. This work, based on a case observed in our department and a review of the literature, aims to discuss certain secondary manifestations following breast irradiation and their therapeutic options.
