title: Reconstruction after complete avulsion of the nipple caused by a human bite using an amputated tissue graft in situ.
abstract: Integrated avulsion of the nipple by human bite is not common. We treated a patient whose left nipple had been completely avulsed by modifing the nipple as a free skin graft and reconstructing a pillar-like fascia flap as the core to reshape the configuration of the nipple.
