Abstract EN

Median sternotomy is the most commonly used incision in cardiothoracic procedures.

Development of breast abscess after sternotomy is a very rare situation.

We present a case of sternal wound infection with recurrent bilateral breast abscess after sternotomy.

Our case is the first and only case in the literature due to the presence of sternal wound infection with recurrent bilateral breast abscess after sternotomy.
