Increased risk of FN following AFG is associated with greater volume injected at the initial session and higher incidence over time. Although AFG is oncologically safe, patients should be counseled on the 10.5% incidence of FN presenting as a palpable abnormality, and the approximately 5% chance of requiring biopsy or excision.

We present a case of surgical removal of primary amyloidosis of the breast utilizing an oncoplastic reduction pattern technique. Primary amyloidosis of the breast is a very rare benign disease characterized by accumulation of insoluble amyloid protein. Biopsy is required for definitive diagnosis, and surgical removal of the mass with clear margins is the main treatment for primary amyloidosis. Oncoplastic reduction pattern technique allows for removal of large breast lesions and correction of the resulting defect by combining the extirpative principles of surgical oncology with the aesthetic principles of breast reduction surgery.
