Leiomyomas are benign smooth-muscle tumours and their cutaneous forms rare clinical entities with subtypes including pilar leiomyoma, angioleiomyoma, genital leiomyoma. Nipple leiomyomas, arising from the mammillary muscle cells of nipple, least common type We present herein a case male nipple leiomyoma detailed analysis histologic features review literature.

BACKGROUND Nipple-areolar reconstruction completes post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. Many techniques for nipple reconstruction have been described, and each has their advocates and critics. One of the frequent failings of most designs is loss of nipple projection with time. OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of including autologous costal cartilage on patient satisfaction with their nipp...

R ietjens et al 1 report 16 cases of nipple grafting. Fourteen of these cases were for treatment of nipple malposition in patients undergoing nipple-sparing mastectomies or breast-conserving surgery and radiation. Two primary breast reduction patients were included, although they presumably did not have malpositioned nipples. Still, 14 cases of nipple grafting to correct nipple malposition is a...

Objective: There are many approaches to nipple-areola complex reconstruction. Tissue quality and thickness, desired nipple location and size, scar position, and surgeon preference all play a role in selecting a technique. We present the rectangle-to-cube nipple flap, a new technique for challenging nipple reconstruction. A review of published techniques is compared and contrasted with this flap...

Nipple-areolar complex (NAC) reconstruction is the final step in the long journey of breast reconstruction for mastectomy patients. Successful NAC reconstruction depends on the use of appropriate surgical techniques that are simple and reliable. To date, numerous techniques have been used for nipple reconstruction, including contralateral nipple sharing and various local flaps. Recently, it has...

OBJECTIVE To elucidate the diagnostic criteria of Raynaud phenomenon of the nipple that will aid in recognizing and treating Raynaud phenomenon in breast feeding mothers with chronic deep nipple pain during lactation. DESIGN Retrospective review of a patient database composed of 22 cases of breastfeeding mothers who fit the diagnostic criteria for Raynaud phenomenon of the nipple. SETTING M...

OBJECTIVE To pilot a model for determining whether a homoeopathic medicine is superior to placebo for delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). DESIGN Randomised double blind placebo controlled trial. SETTING Physiotherapy department of a homoeopathic hospital. SUBJECTS Sixty eight healthy volunteers (average age 30; 41% men) undertook a 10 minute period of bench stepping carrying a small wei...

BACKGROUND The history of surgical treatment of breast cancer is rich with contributions from many surgeons over the centuries. Among the recent advances in technique is the nipple-sparing mastectomy, which reflects the emerging focus on cosmetic outcomes. METHODS We took a backward glance at the literature illustrating the evolution of surgical management of breast cancer, culminating with n...

INTRODUCTION Syringomatous adenoma of the nipple is a very rare benign tumor. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports of a syringomatous adenoma of the nipple metastasizing, although these tumors are known to infiltrate locally and to recur if not totally resected. CASE PRESENTATION Our patient was a 41-year-old Japanese woman who complained of stiffness of her right nipple with ab...

Nowadays, local flap coverage methods, including the C-V breast flap compose the majority of nipple reconstruction procedures [1]. As the projection of new nipple from the C-V breast flap is basically subcutaneous fat, the reconstructed nipple tends to be flattened over the long term, especially if submitted to pressure. In addition, necrosis or abrasion may result in flap failure. For this rea...
