Presentation
Presently described is rare case of warfarin-induced breast hematoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Physicians should be aware of this possibility in patients under anticoagulant treatment presenting with sudden onset of breast pain and a palpable mass. Repeat imaging is mandatory until complete clinical and imaging resolution of the hematoma. [doi.org]
It presents the full spectrum of manifestations of breast diseases, as well as cases involving the postsurgical and augmented breast. [books.google.com]
Here, we describe a patient who presented in extremis with multiple injuries including a rapidly expanding breast hematoma necessitating urgent surgical intervention. [journals.lww.com]
Entire Body System
- Pain
When pain does not lessen with pain killers, that is an indication of a problem. A greatly enlarged breast, beyond the size of the implant and beyond normal swelling, is also cause for concern. [jeffersonplasticsurgery.com]
If you need help with managing pain, see your doctor. They can advise you on the best methods of pain control for you. You can usually ease pain from a traumatic injury with a pain reliever such as ibuprofen (Advil). [healthline.com]
If your swelling seems to worsen and cause increased pain, this may be a sign of a more significant complication called a hematoma. [drbottger.com]
Generally there would be a significant increase in breast pain, heat ; redness with spreading heat ; redness away from the hematoma ; maybe increasing bresst swelling. [healthtap.com]
I was allowed to sedate myself(mainly b/c I have such high tolerance due to having to take pain meds for herniated discs(several of them ). I was almost alseep during the procedure. I felt nothing. [hystersisters.com]
- Surgical Procedure
Surgical Procedures after Initial Implantation After the initial implantations, 450 implant-related surgical procedures (including 23 two-stage operations, each of which was counted only once) were performed during follow-up. [nejm.org]
In particularly severe cases, the patient may have to undergo a second surgical procedure to remove the breast implants, drain the hematoma, and then re-insert the implants. [crawfordplasticsurgery.com]
Surgeons expect seromas to develop after surgical procedures or where any skin break occurs. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Sometimes the actual surgical procedure is done with a hematoma; the active bleeding can sometimes just stop on its own. [cosmeticsurgeryforums.com]
Types of surgical procedures that may be performed in a reoperation include: Implant removal, with or without replacement Capsule removal or surgical release of the scar tissue around the breast implant Scar or wound revision, such as surgical removal [fda.gov]

- Breast Mass
The pathology report can tell you whether the mass is benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). Management and Treatment of Breast Hematomas Smaller breast hematomas will go away on their own, given enough time. [verywell.com]

Neurologic
- Headache
Symptoms of hematomas depend upon their location and whether adjacent structures are affected by the inflammation and swelling associated with the bleeding and may include headache, confusion, seizures (subdural hematoma), back pain, loss of bladder or [medicinenet.com]
Allergic reactions to anesthesia can cause nausea and vomiting, headache, sore throat, and shivering. Some patients may also experience a slower than normal return to full mental function. [docshop.com]
Severe internal hematomas may cause more serious symptoms, such as headache and confusion, unconsciousness, or weakness in the extremities. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. 3 Know the risk factors. [wikihow.com]
Urogenital
- Renal Insufficiency
Such dosage elimination can only be efficient in existence of comorbid conditions that increase the risk of bleeding, as hypertension, renal insufficiency, hepatic insufficiency, cerebrovascular disease, or concurrent use of aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory [ispub.com]
Workup
Additional mammographic projections (tangential, compression, and/or magnification views), comparison with prior mammograms, clinical breast examination, and ultrasonography are helpful in the workup. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
Larger hematomas often require treatment to prevent secondary complications. Treatment may include repetitive needle aspirations, CT guided drain placement or occasionally open surgical drainage. [realself.com]
Treatment The treatment path recommended for breast hematoma may vary, depending on factors like the size, cause and location. [home-remedies-for-you.com]
Breast Hematoma Treatment Depending on the size of the hematoma, the doctor may suggest several breast hematoma treatments. Surgery is a common treatment option, although most hematomas disappear on their own depending on size. [health.in4mnation.com]
Physicians should be aware of this possibility in patients under anticoagulant treatment presenting with sudden onset of breast pain and a palpable mass. Repeat imaging is mandatory until complete clinical and imaging resolution of the hematoma. [doi.org]
Therefore, the true incidence remains unknown, and there is no standard of care or treatment algorithm established for the management and treatment of blunt breast trauma. [sip-trunking.tmcnet.com]
Prognosis
The reported sonographic spectrum includes: fluid collection solid nodule cystic nodule diffuse parenchymal abnormalities calcified nodule Treatment and prognosis Although benign, it requires careful interpretation in the correct clinical context. [radiopaedia.org]
Despite this, the prognosis is comparable to that of ductal carcinoma. Ref: http://emedicine.medscape.com Lobular breast carcinoma. Transverse. [ultrasoundpaedia.com]
When comparing women with breast implants to those without implants, breast cancer studies do not show any differences in the stage of disease at the time of diagnosis; and the prognosis is similar for women with, and without, implants. [mybreastaugmentation.info]
Etiology
Chapters are organized according to the pattern seen on the mammogram to develop readers' pattern recognition skills and to allow quick and complete definition of etiologies and clinical implications for a particular finding. [books.google.com]
Various etiologies have been proposed, usually relating to history of trauma, anticoagulant use, or physical strain. [academic.oup.com]
The points to be discussed are the location, the etiology, the responsible dose, and the indicated management. Some characteristics of this condition are known but our understanding of the mechanism is not sufficient. [ispub.com]
Epidemiology

Pathophysiology
We also discuss the possible pathophysiological mechanisms of this phenomenon. [academic.oup.com]
The pathophysiology of postsurgical changes, as observed on mammograms, is associated with the type of surgical intervention and the time elapsed since the procedure. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
Warfarin is the most commonly used oral anticoagulant and is widely prescribed to prevent thromboembolic events. Warfarin-dependent spontaneous breast hematoma is a very rare complication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
While family members might put up with your anger managem show more Did you know sunblock could help prevent skin rashes? Women's Health Skin rashes, no matter how small, can lead to a lot of irritation and be very difficult to deal with. [practo.com]
Taking the herb Arnica montana may also prevent hematomas from forming. Although patients may be concerned that they will need to undergo a revision surgery if a hematoma forms, the chances of this are very unlikely. [crawfordplasticsurgery.com]
Eating foods rich in vitamin K will help prevent massive blood loss arising from breast augmentation complications. Avoid bumping, compressing or massaging the breast after surgery. [health.in4mnation.com]
To prevent a capsule, I put steroids into the outer saline compartment routinely. The steroids would prevent capsules from forming in the first two or three years in nearly all of the patients. [ascbs.org]
