Breast reconstruction may require multiple surgeries, such as nipple and areola reconstruction and tattoo pigmentation, revision surgery involving the breast and/or donor site, and surgery on the opposite breast to correct asymmetry.Breast reconstruction may involve insertion of tissue expanders or breast...
external prostheses. Meta-analysis of the data was not deemed to be possible because of heterogeneity of data; a narrative synthesis of the literature was provided. The authors concluded that there is no consensus on how to manage developmental breast asymmetry. In addition, there is a lack of ...
and early stages are treated with lumpectomy and irradiation. Irradiation, however, results in reduced vascularization and fibrosis, which may influence the cosmetic outcome unfavorably and increase complications after subsequent surgery on irradiated breasts. Patients with significant asymmetry after...
In all reading arms, specificity tended to be lower for micro-calcifications and higher for distortion/asymmetry. Comparing 2D + DBT to 2D alone, sensitivity was significantly higher: 93 % versus 86 % (p < 0.001) for invasive tumors of size 11 to 20 mm. Similarly, for breast ...
(A) This 58-year-old woman had a questionable asymmetry seen on her 2D screening mammogram on the right mediolateral oblique (MLO) view in the retroareolar region (arrow). (B) DBT was performed and the asymmetry was shown to be normal tissue, but a spiculated mass was seen in the ...
