[Breast asymmetry due to lympho-hemangioma of the left breast. Communication of a case report].
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. Expander was used during the first stage from the left side combined with the Ribeiro technique to treat the remaining constructed breast tissue. Secondary the expander was replaced with permanent mammary implant and the hypertrophic, ptotic right breast was reduced.
