title: [Breast asymmetry due to lympho-hemangioma of the left breast. Communication of a case report].
abstract: Breast asymmetry is relatively common condition. Mild breast asymmetry usually does not require correction. A rare case of breast asymmetry due to lymphoheamangioma of the left breast operated at 1 and 3 years of age was corrected in two stages.

Secondary the expander was replaced with permanent mammary implant and the hypertrophic, ptotic right breast was reduced.
