Laceration without foreign body of right breast

A laceration without a foreign body of the right breast is a type of injury that occurs when the skin and underlying tissue of the breast are torn or cut. This type of injury can be caused by a variety of factors, including accidents, falls, and sports-related injuries. While lacerations without foreign bodies are not usually life-threatening, they can be painful and may require medical attention.

Depending on the severity of the laceration, treatment may involve cleaning the wound, applying stitches or sutures to close the wound, and taking antibiotics to prevent infection. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the damage to the breast tissue.
