Specific cutaneous associations in patients with Becker's nevus have been reported. We present a patient with typical clinical and histopathological features clearly consistent with Becker's nevus associated with ipsilateral breast hypoplasia. The changes were distinct and could be separated from smooth muscle hamartoma. We include clinical and histological illustrations of our case.

UNLABELLED Poland's syndrome is characterized by variable clinical picture. Classic deformity consists of unilateral hypoplasia or aplasia of the sternocostal head of the pectoralis major muscle and ipsilateral hand malformations. Additionally on the affected side hypoplasia or aplasia of the breast in women is observed. Variable malformations in Poland's syndrome cause that there is no uniform...

background: the prevalence of hip dysplasia is 1 in 1000. several pelvic osteotomy methods have been developed to prevent early osteoarthritis, such as triple osteotomy. in this study we are going to introduce our new technique that was done on 4 patients with favorable short-term results.   methods: four patients underwent triple osteotomy and fixation using a reconstruction plate and early we...

Reconstruction of full-thickness defects with the use of artificial dermis has been well established in the recent literature. The capacity of artificial dermis to expand over a period of years, months, or even days is described. Three such cases are reported. Two female patients, aged 21 and 30 years, with post-burn contractures of the chest with right breast hypoplasia and abdominal wall post...

Sir, Becker's naevus or Becker's melanosis is a relatively common disorder, which appears as a hyperpigmented, hypertrichotic patch located mainly on the trunk (1). Becker's naevus has been associated with various soft tissue and bony structural anomalies, such as hypoplasia of the ipsilateral breast, pectoralis major muscle, leg, arm and contralateral breast, spina bi®da, and pectus carinatum ...

cartilage hair hypoplasia (chh), is a rare cause of metaphyseal chondrodysplasia and short stature. other features included hair abnormality, immunodeficiency, anemia, gastrointestinal disorders (hirschsprung disease, celiac, …) and increased risk of cancer. the disease is an autosomal recessive disorder and previously has not been reported in iran. we report a 9-year-old boy diagnosed as carti...

INTRODUCTION A 51-year-old woman was diagnosed with a rare case of multi-focal ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast associated with Poland syndrome. CLINICAL PICTURE Physical examination showed mild hypoplasia of the left breast with microcalcifications on mammogram. Intraoperatively, there was complete absence of the pectoralis major, which precluded the insertion of a breast implan...

BACKGROUND Despite the great variety of mammaplasty techniques, outcome assessment remains a challenging issue. OBJECTIVES The authors devised an objective method to evaluate mammary symmetry based on statistical analysis of objective manual breast measurements and validated the method by applying it to results of a randomized controlled trial on the correction of breast asymmetry. METHODS ...
