The purpose of this study is to investigate the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the detection of local recurrence after nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) or skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) with immediate reconstructive surgery for breast cancer. Two hundred and eighty-six NSM or SSM procedures and immediate reconstruction cases between August 2015 and February 2020 were reviewed. The detectability rates of for local recurrence using MRI and ultrasound were assessed, and the characteristics of recurrent and primary cancers were evaluated. The patients with multifocal or multicentric primary cancer and a dense parenchymal pattern showed a higher recurrence rate (p &lt; 0.001). A total of 22 cases showed recurrence, and due to multifocal recurrence, a total of 27 recurrent lesions were identified in the reconstructed breast, of which 12 were symptomatic and 15 were asymptomatic (p &lt; 0.001). With the exception of skin recurrence (n = 6), MRI showed a significantly higher detectability rate (95.2%, 20 of 21) than ultrasound (38.1%, 8 of 21) for the recurrence of cancer in the reconstructed breast (p &lt; 0.001), especially for small-sized (&lt;1 cm) asymptomatic lesions. In addition, the mean recurrence interval of MRI-detected asymptomatic lesions was 21.7 months (SD ± 17.7), which was significantly longer than that of symptomatic recurrence. In conclusion, postoperative MRI can be useful for identifying small-sized (&lt;1 cm) asymptomatic recurrence lesions in reconstructed breast tissue after NSM or SSM, which can be implemented within two years of surgery.
