[Case report -- needle in the breast].

A case of a 23-year-old, foreign language speaking patient is reported, who presented herself in our out-patient clinic with stitching pain in the upper left quadrant of her left breast. Not until the third appointment and intensive questioning, leading to more detailed informations about the medical history, it was possible to diagnose a sewing needle in the breast by mammography. Neither clinical signs nor several ultrasound examinations lead to the diagnosis before.
