There is scant literature regarding a recently identified clinical entity termed red breast syndrome. Its clinical presentation has been described as a non-infectious, self-limited erythema of a post-mastectomy breast reconstructed using acellular dermal matrix. Its incidence, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical course, management, and long-term sequelae are largely unknown. We present a review of the available literature on this phenomenon and highlight some opportunities for further research.
