Abstract: | A case of a patient with a suspicious glandular node found during reduction mammaplasty is described. The preoperative search
for such nodes, the management of cases on which a suspicious node is found intraoperatively, and a situation on which the
diagnosis of breast cancer is made during histology are discussed. When a suspicious small node (with a diameter up to 2 cm)
is detected during a cosmetic breast surgery, lumpectomy can be performed. It may be a definite surgical treatment, depending
on stage and tumor type. In the case presented, histology revealed intraductal papiloma, a benign tumor, therefore lumpectomy
was a suitable procedure with an acceptable cosmetic result. With the increased incidence of breast cancer, this situation
will happen more often and technical options for the management of such cases deserves the attention of plastic surgeons. |
