One-Stage Nipple and Breast Reconstruction Following Areola-Sparing Mastectomy
A 33-year-old female presented with invasive lobular carcinoma measuring 1.8 cm×1.5 cm in size in the right breast without nipple involvement. The tumor mass was 4.3 cm from the edge of the areola. She had already undergone conventional mastectomy of the left breast with immediate TRAM flap breast reconstruction 1 year earlier. The patient underwent ASM of the right breast and axillary lymph node dissection by a breast surgeon. The breast was immediately reconstructed with an LD flap and the nipple was simultaneously reconstructed with a modified C-V flap. At 6 months postoperatively, the patient was satisfied with the outcome and had no recurrence ().
