Breast cancer is the most prevalent (24.1%) cancer among women. It is the second most frequent cause of cancer-deaths (18%) in women, following lung cancer. Early awareness of breast cancer by patients depends on patient’s social and educational state. Scar tissues and contractures related with burns are especially frequent in rural areas of Turkey, and they continue to be a problem. We wished to present our case, who had scar tissue development in her right breast due to burn caused by hot water at 6 years old and was diagnosed with cancer (Infiltrative ductal carcinoma, stage 3A) developing at the breast tissue under this scar 42 years old, to emphasize that patients and physicians should be mindful of cancer development under these irregular and complex tissues and to contribute in the awareness of these occurrences. Breast self-examination, mammography and physical examination are among the most emphasized topics recently. As our case developed breast cancer beneath scar tissue, we think it is a notable case to emphasize the importance of patient and public awareness. Keyword: scar tissue, early awareness, breastself examination.
