title: Breast asymmetry as a result of congenital amniotic folds in the thoracoabdominal area.
abstract: Breast asymmetry is a relatively common condition. Mild breast asymmetry usually does not require correction. A rare case of breast asymmetry associated with congenital amniotic bands in the thoracoabdominal area was surgically corrected by transposition of the ectopic right breast and nipple-areola complex with Z-plasty and thick split-skin grafting. The Ribeiro technique was used to treat the tuberous left breast.
