title: A Case with Breast Cancer under the Nipple Who Underwent Breast Conserving Treatment.
abstract: 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.
