Accessory breast tissue is a developmental anomaly defined as persistence of breast tissue along the embryonic mammary line in the mid-thoracic region. Rarely, an abnormally located remnant of the line persists and develops into completely formed mammary glands. A 61-year-old woman presented with a pedunculated mass on the mid-lower abdomen, below the umbilicus. She detected a pea-sized nodule a few decades ago and it gradually enlarged since 1 year ago. There was no pigmented prominence resembling a nipple. Histological finding revealed lobules of the breast forming islands of glandular tissue. We believe this is an unusual case of accessory breast tissue mimicking soft fibroma as a pedunculated mass.

In the case of radiotherapy following breast conservation therapy for breast cancer patients, the characteristic of skin dose was investigated in the treatment of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for breast cancer patients by comparing and analysing entrance skin dose irradiated during radiotherapy using tangential technique radiotherpy, and IMRT. The calculation dose irradiated to breast skin was compared with TLD measurement dose in treatment planning by performing the two methods of radiotherapy using tangential technique, and IMRT in treatment planning equipment. The skin absorbed dose was measured to pass a nipple by spacing of 1 cm distance from center to edge of body. In the radiotherapy of tangential technique, for the irradiation of 180 cGy to PTV, the calculation dose was ranged from 103.6 cGy to 155.2 cGy, measurement dose was ranged from 107.5 cGy to 156.2 cGy, and skin dose in the center was maximum 1.45 times more irradiated than that in the edge. In the IMRT, for the irradiation of 180 cGy to PTV, the calculation dose was ranged 9.8 cGy at 80.2 cGy, measurement dose was ranged 8.9 cGy at 77.2 cGy, and skin dose in the center was maximum 0.23 times less irradiated than that in the edge. IMRT was more effective for skin radiation risks because radiation dose irradiated to skin in IMRT was much less than that in radiotherapy of tangential field technique.

Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery 2014;20(3):169-172
Bottoming out is the term used to describe the inferior displacement of a breast implant after breast augmentation that results in increased distance between the nipple areolar complex and the inframammary fold. Conventional techniques for correcting bottoming out involve capsulectomy and capsulorrhaphy via an inframammary fold incision that is prone to cause large scar and increases the patient's burden. However, using an endoscopic approach via the axilla, we are able to correct bottoming out, resulting in a smaller scar and shorter recovery time. In this article, we present a novel and simple method to correct bottoming out using endoscopy and electrocauterization.

Erosive adenomatosis of the nipple is a benign tumor originated from the lactiferous duct of the breast. A 41-year-old woman presented with one year history of painful and pruritic erosion of the right nipple. A biopsy specimen showed tubular structures which were lined by inner columnar cells showing secretory properties into the lumen and peripherally located cuboidal cells. The papillary projections of the luminal cells into the lumen were also seen. We, herein, report a rare case of erosive adenomatosis of the nipple.

The existence of numerous methods of nipple reconstruction in the literature is indicative of the difficulties encountered while duplicating a normal nipple. We have performed breast reconstruction with free TRAM flap for last 10 years, and after the breast mound reconstruction we have performed nipple reconstruction with three different methods -star flap, double opposing tab flap, and C-V flap. We compared the final outcomes of these three reconstruction methods. From March 1992 to February 2001, we experienced the 82 cases of the breast reconstruction with free TRAM and the nipples were reconstructed in 54 cases by the same surgeon. 9 cases were reconstructed with star flaps, 19 cases were reconstructed with double opposing tab flaps and 26 cases were reconstructed with C-V flaps. We compared the results of the difference of the nipple projection and the patients' satisfaction in 2 weeks and 12 months after the operation. In 12 months after the operation, the average projection of the nipple was 4.2 mm in star flap, 4.5 mm in double opposing tab flap and 6.5 mm in C-V flap. The average reduction rate of the nipple projection was 46.6%, 57.4% and 32.5% respectively in 1 year after the operation. We considered that the star flap often showed the partial necrosis on the sharp tip of the flap and the contracture of the scar tissue. We assumed that double opposing tab flap showed the good projection initially. However, as time goes, it showed a widening shape on the base of nipple and disfiguring mound of breast because of high tension in the closure. The C - V flap showed round tip and less disfiguring mound of breast because of less tension and less spreading, so it shows the least reduction rate of nipple projection. We concluded that the reconstructed nipple with C-V flap showed the least reduction of nipple projection and the most satisfactory result among these 3 methods. We recommend that the nipple should be reconstructed initially much larger than the opposite nipple considering about one-third reduction rate 1 year after the surgery.

Journal of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons 1999;26(4):707-713
A study of the volume and linear measurements of the breast to determine new nipple positions for 142 subjects was undertaken. Volume determination was done by using the Grossman-Roudner device. The size and shape of the female breast may differ significantly, and such size and linear measurements have to be measured accurately prior to breast aesthetic surgery. Statistical analysis of these results are closely related to physical constitution(height, weight, chest circumference). There have been increasing changes in linear measurement and decreasing changes in breast volume during the last 10 years, The results were as follows: 1) the mean distance from the midclavicular point to the nipple was 19.5cm, the distance from the sternal notch to the nipple was 19.4cm, the distance between nipples was 18.6cm, and the areolar diameter was 3.3cm, 2) the regression equation for the midclavicular point to the nipple was 7.236+ 0.00077x height(cm)+ 0.233 x weight(kg), for the sternal notch to the nipple was 8.845-0.0039 x height(cm)+ 0.214x weight(kg), for the distance between nipples was 11.192 - 0.0033xheight(cm)+ 0.151x weight(kg), and for the areolar diameter was 4.031+0.02xheight(cm)-0.048 x weight(kg),3) the mean value of breast volume of the left side was 209.6cc, and that of the right side was 211.8cc, 4) the regression equation for the mean breast volume was -137.673 + 6.668 x weight(kg), which was equal to -528.414 + 9.115x chest circumference under the axilla(cm) and -468.420 + 8.298 x chest circumference across the nipple (cm). In conclusion, these data could be useful for numerous aspects of breast surgery, including augmentation mammoplasty, mastopexy, reduction mammoplasty, and correction of asymmetrical breasts as the standard for Korean females, if we know the body constituents (weight, chest circumference) before surgery.

Supernunmerary nipple is a developmental anomaly occuring alon, the course of the embryological milk lines. This entity has receieved little attention in the dermatologic literature and has been confused with a pigmented nevus in some cases. We have experienced two ease of the more unusual form of supern umerary nipple. According to the Kajavas classification, our caes are classified as polithelia pilosa and complete breast with nipple.

Journal of Breast Cancer 2014;17(2):184-187
Spontaneous bloody nipple discharge from a single duct is a significant clinical problem. When performing preoperative marking of the discharging duct, it is sometimes difficult to identify the duct owing to intermittent discharge. Precise preoperative marking of the discharging duct and intraductal lesions is very important to avoid unnecessary wide excision of breast tissue or failure to remove the cause of nipple discharge. We herein present a case of preoperative ultrasound-guided indigo carmine staining in a patient with no discharge on the day of surgery. When a dilated duct is visualized on ultrasound, the targeted duct can be localized using indigo carmine staining, and it is possible to perform a precise minimal volume microdochectomy.

10.Reduction Mammaplasty by the Inferior Dermal Flap (Modified Mckissock Method).
Sang Hyun WOO ; Jung Hyun SEUL
Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine 1987;4(2):51-58
The goal of reduction mammaplasty is a breast with natural contour and volume, aesthetically situated scars, and a well-placed, sensate nipple and areola. The most successful techniques achieve this through the excision of tissue from the lower part of the breast based on some variation. However, the Mckissock's vertical bipedicle technique is the popular method for reduction mammaplasty. As an alternative modified Mckissock's method, we have found the use of only an inferior dermal flap with a keyhole pattern to be a simple and safe method for obtaining satisfactory aesthetic results. We have used inferior dermal flap for 4 patients recently and obtained the advantages as below compare to the Mckissock's method. 1. Rich blood supply to the broad based inferior flap. 2. More easy transposition of the nipple and areola. 3. More good operation field for resection of breast tissue. 4. Short operation time. 5. Can applied to the gigantomastia.
