title: Oncoplastic surgery in Japanese patients with breast cancer close to the areola: partial mastectomy using periareolar mammoplasty: a case report.
abstract: We report the results of oncoplastic surgery in two Japanese patients with early breast cancer. Their breasts were large and ptotic, and their lesions, which were close to the areola, were considered to be suitable for breast conservative surgery. Oncoplastic surgery involving partial resection of the gland and a periareolar mammoplasty were performed. The technique was easy to perform, and the cosmetic outcome was excellent.
