[Treatment of breast cancer located behind the nipple with musculocutaneous flap from the latissimus dorsi. 2) Analysis of a series of 14 cases].
The authors report a series of 14 cases of retroareolar breast cancer treated by wide excision followed by reconstruction with latissimus dorsi flap. Based on clinical and histological datas, they establish surgical indications and show that this procedure can be used for central tumors whose diameter goes from 1.5 to 3 cm even if the nipple is retracted. Cosmetical and functional results are usually goods. They just have to note one infection medically treated.
