Abstract

Clip migration following breast biopsy is a known complication. However, the migrated clip is usually found within the breast. We describe a rare case of delayed clip migration to the skin, following a magnetic resonance guided biopsy of the breast, highlighting its natural history of presentation and its treatment.
