title: Reduction mammaplasty in adolescents with myelodysplasia.
abstract: Macromastia may occur in patients with myelodysplasia and paraplegia. Breast enlargement complicates weight shifts, crutch walking, sitting balance, and personal hygiene. Three patients with macromastia and myelodysplasia who underwent reduction mammaplasty are presented. Their postoperative recoveries were uncomplicated and each was symptomatically improved.
