A Case with Breast Cancer under the Nipple Who Underwent Breast Conserving Treatment.
Although breast conserving treatment (BCT) had become the standard therapy for early breast cancer, breast removal is still recommended for patients with a tumor beneath the nipple or with Paget's disease. We have employed transposition of a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous (LD-MC)flap after wide local excision of a tumor with the nipple-areola complex. A new nipple-areola complex was reconstructed on the LD-MC flap after breast irradiation. Utilizing reconstructive techniques, BCT will likely become the treatment of choice for more patients with early breast cancer.
