  • Title: Breast conserving surgery for breast cancer involving the nipple.
    Author: Carty H, McCullough P, Aluwihare N, Matey P.
    Journal: Breast; 2008 Feb; 17(1):107-10. PubMed ID: 17892937.
    Abstract:
    We present two cases of invasive breast carcinoma with involvement of the dermis and epidermis of the nipple areolar complex (NAC), which were treated with an immediate breast reconstruction. Oncoplastic techniques were utilised in both cases: Latissimus Dorsi Mini Flap in the first and therapeutic reduction mammaplasty in the second. Both methods were used to fill the defect and also to recreate the NAC. We believe these techniques have an expanding role in the repertoire of surgical options for treating breast carcinoma.
