title: [A case of transareolar mastocele (tuberous breast) following an early lateral thoracotomy].
abstract: The paper reports a rare case of breast anomaly, classified as "tuberous breast", which was of a specific nature since it was the result of a lateral thoracotomy performed at the age of 7 days old to esophageal atresia. The paper analyses the possible etiopathogenetic mechanisms. The use of an original reparative technique enable an adequately shaped and protruding breast to be obtained without the use of prosthesis and without leaving additional scars.
