title: Internal mammary artery haematoma.
abstract: Traumatic disruption of the internal mammary artery, which produces a well-circumscribed haematoma in the extrapleural plane and not a haemothorax, has not been described previously in English-language reports. Both blunt and penetrating trauma may be the cause. Ten such cases have been identified and verified by angiography.
