The breast represents one of the most important entities for the female. Females worry about their cosmetic look a lot and breast asymmetry. Breast asymmetry presents a problem in surgical management as regards the discrepancy in size, volumes, shapes and contour and even the sites of differences or excess in these breasts. In addition to some associated discrepancies of breast bases on which the breasts are seated as thoracic cage abnormalities and unevenness, hence, the difficult differentiation of the breast problem which root to the origin of their etiologies that has to be understood in order to deal with the associated pathologies that cause this abnormalities. Breast asymmetry’s only hope for treatment is the surgical treatment. This study was done between April 2005 and March 2009 with the intention of choosing a specific method of correction for each subtype of breast asymmetry. Methodology The study was held in Kasr Al Ainy hospital and other private hospitals on 20 female patients having different types of breast asymmetry. The patients were examined and evaluated preoperatively and according to the type of breast asymmetry, a specific surgical plan was devised. The patients were then followed up in the early postoperative period for possible complications and for at least one year after surgery to check for patient satisfaction and second look surgeries. The methods used were mastopexy, reduction and augmentation whether alone or in combination in order to correct breast results. Conclusion Categorizing the patients and conducting a tailored plan for each patient was the key to successful outcome. The study concluded that no technique is superior over the other and that there are guidelines to be followed to achieve patient satisfaction.

    Breast Infection: a Review of Diagnosis and Management Practices

Breast abscesses are less common, however when they do develop, delays in specialist referral may occur due to lack of clear protocols. In secondary care abscesses can be diagnosed by ultrasound scan and in the past the management has been dependent on the receiving surgeon. Management options include aspiration under local anesthetic or more invasive incision and drainage (I&D). Over recent years the availability of bedside/clinic based ultrasound scan has made diagnosis easier and minimally invasive procedures have become the cornerstone of breast abscess management. We review the diagnosis and management of breast infection in the primary and secondary care setting, highlighting the importance of early referral for severe infection/breast abscesses. As a clear guideline on the manage- ment of breast infection is lacking, this review provides useful guidance for those who rarely see breast infection to help avoid long-term morbidity.

Abstract: Poland’s syndrome (PS) is a rare musculoskeletal congenital anomaly with a wide spectrum of presentations. It is typically characterized by hypoplasia or aplasia of pectoral muscles, mammary hypoplasia and variably associated ipsilateral limb anomalies. Limb defects can vary in severity, ranging from syndactyly to phocomelia. Most cases are sporadic but familial cases with intrafamilial variability have been reported. Several theories have been proposed regarding the genesis of PS. Vascular disruption theory, “the subclavian artery supply disruption sequence” (SASDS) remains the most accepted pathogenic mechanism. Clinical presentations can vary in severity from syndactyly to phocomelia in the limbs and in the thorax, rib defects to severe chest wall anomalies with impaired lung function.

Objectives: To assess the risk of nipple and skin sensation changes and lactation issues in subjects receiving implants for primary breast augmentation and ascertain whether differences based on incision site exist. Methods: We used 410 Continued Access study data to assess safety and effectiveness of devices implanted via inframammary or periareolar incision sites. Subjects were evaluated preoperatively and at 4 weeks, 6 months, and annually up to 10 years postoperatively. Lactation issues and nipple and skin sensation changes (hypersensitivity/paresthesia, loss of sensation) were assessed. Results: The inframammary and periareolar cohorts comprised 9217 and 610 implanted devices, with mean follow-up of 4.1 years (range, 0-10.1 years) and 4.8 years (range, 0-10.1 years), respectively.

    Nipple Discharge Epworth Healthcare Benign Breast Disease Symposium November 12th 2016 Jane O’Brien Specialist Breast and Oncoplastic Surgeon What is Nipple Discharge? Nipple discharge is the release of fluid from the nipple Based on the characteristics of presentation Nipple Discharge is categorized as: • Physiologic nipple discharge • Normal milk production (lactation) • Pathologic nipple discharge 27-Jun-20 2 • Nipple discharge is the one of the most commonly encountered breast complaints • 5-10% percent of women referred because of symptoms of a breast disorder have nipple discharge • Nipple discharge is the third most common presenting symptom to breast clinics (behind lump/lumpiness and breast pain) • Most nipple discharge is of benign origin 27-Jun-20 3 • Less than 5% of women with breast cancer have nipple discharge, and most of these women have other symptoms, such as a lump or newly inverted nipple, as well as the nipple discharge • Mammography and ultrasound have a low sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing the cause of nipple discharge • Nipple smear cytology has a low sensitivity and positive predictive value • The risk of an underlying malignancy is increased if the nipple discharge is spontaneous and single duct 27-Jun-20 4 Physiological Nipple Discharge • Fluid can be obtained from the nipples of 50–80% of asymptomatic women when massage/squeezing used. • This discharge of fluid from a normal breast is referred to as 'physiological discharge' • It is usually yellow, milky, or green in appearance; does not occur spontaneously;

    Breast Augmentation Using Preexpansion and Autologous Fat Transplantation: a Clinical Radiographic Study

    COSMETIC Breast Augmentation Using Preexpansion and Autologous Fat Transplantation: A Clinical Radiographic Study Daniel A. Del Vecchio, Background: Despite the increased popularity of fat grafting of the breasts, M.D., M.B.A. there remain unanswered questions. There is currently no standard for tech- Louis P. Bucky, M.D. nique or data regarding long-term volume maintenance with this procedure. Boston, Mass.; and Philadelphia, Pa. Because of the sensitive nature of breast tissue, there is a need for radiographic evaluation, focusing on volume maintenance and on tissue viability. This study was designed to quantify the long-term volume maintenance of mature adi- pocyte fat grafting for breast augmentation using recipient-site preexpansion. Methods: This is a prospective examination of 25 patients in 46 breasts treated with fat grafting for breast augmentation from 2007 to 2009. Indications in- cluded micromastia, postexplantation deformity, tuberous breast deformity, and Poland syndrome. Preexpansion using the BRAVA device was used in all patients. Fat was processed using low–g-force centrifugation. Patients had pre- operative and 6-month postoperative three-dimensional volumetric imaging and/or magnetic resonance imaging to quantify breast volume. Results: All women had a significant increase in breast volume (range, 60 to 200 percent) at 6 months, as determined by magnetic resonance imaging (n ϭ 12), and all had breasts that were soft and natural in appearance and feel. Magnetic resonance imaging examinations postoperatively revealed no new oil cysts or breast masses. Conclusions: Preexpansion of the breast allows for megavolume (Ͼ300 cc) grafting with reproducible, long-lasting results that can be achieved in less than 2 hours.

These two entities have very rarely been reported in the male breast and they have long been considered as the same disease as that in the female breast without any differentiation. We report here on the radiologic findings of a rare case of periductal mastitis that developed during the course of chemotherapy for lung cancer in a 50-year-old male. On ultrasonography, there was a partially defined mass with adjacent duct dilatation and intraductal hypoe- chogenicity, and this correlated with an immature abscess with a pus-filled, dilated duct and periductal inflammation on the pathologic examination.
