Cutaneous leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle neoplasms of the skin. They arise from vascular, arrector pili, genital, and areolar smooth muscles. The most common localizations of cutaneous leiomyomas are the extensor surfaces of the extremities and the trunk. To our knowledge, only few cases of one-sided nipple leiomyomas have been reported, but two-sided nipple leiomyomas have not been presen...

Differential diagnoses of pigmented lesions of the nipple include melanocytic nevus, melanosis of the nipple, seborrheic keratosis, pigmented basal cell carcinoma, melanoma and Paget disease. The histologic exam with appropriate immunohistochemistry is a fundamental tool to achieve a correct diagnosis. We present a patient with a pigmented lesion of her right nipple revealing mammary Paget dise...

HYPOTHESIS Dissection of subnipple tissue to spare the entire skin envelope of the breast (total skin-sparing mastectomy) is a feasible option in appropriately selected patients and yields an excellent final cosmetic outcome. DESIGN Prospective surgical technique outcomes study. SETTING University-based breast care referral center. PATIENTS Total skin-sparing mastectomy with preservation ...

BACKGROUND To address those patients who do not meet anatomical criteria for nipple-sparing mastectomy, the authors use a staged approach: (1) mastopexy or breast reduction, (2) nipple-sparing mastectomy through the mastopexy incisions after a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks, and (3) the final reconstruction. METHODS Fifteen patients underwent nipple-sparing mastectomy at Georgetown University Hospit...

This article identifies problems and conditions that contribute to nipple pain during lactation and that may lead to early cessation or noninitiation of breastfeeding. Signs and symptoms of poor latch-on and positioning, oral anomalies, and suckling disorders are reviewed. Diagnosis and treatment of infectious agents that may cause nipple pain are presented. Comfort measures for sore nipples an...

MD also helps to spare unnecessary surgery. In patients with nipple discharge, duct excision can be avoided in those with a normal ductoscopy. Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is cosmetically superior to traditional mastectomy but there are concerns about the oncological safety with nipple-areola preservation. MD can be employed to exclude major duct involvement and this may help to select patie...
