Abstract

Purpose Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) significantly increases the risk of breast cancer in women. However, little is known about the implications of ADH in men. Methods Review of 932 males with breast pathology was performed to identify cases of ADH. Patients were excluded if ADH was upgraded to cancer on excision, or if they had contralateral breast cancer. Cases were reviewed to determine whether any male with ADH developed breast cancer. Results Nineteen males were diagnosed with ADH from June 2003 to September 2018. All had gynecomastia. Surgical procedure was mastectomy in 8 patients and excision/reduction in 11. One patient had their nipple areola complex removed, and 1 required a free nipple graft. Median patient age at ADH diagnosis was 25 years (range 18–72 years). Of the 14 patients with bilateral gynecomastia, 10 had bilateral ADH and 4 had unilateral. Five cases of ADH were described as severe, bordering on ductal carcinoma in situ. No patient reported a family history of breast cancer. No patient took tamoxifen. At a mean follow-up of 75 months (range 4–185 months), no patient developed breast cancer. Conclusion Our study is the first to provide follow-up information for males with ADH. With 6 years of mean follow-up, no male in our series has developed breast cancer. This suggests that either ADH in men does not pose the same risk as ADH in women or that surgical excision of symptomatic gynecomastia in men effectively reduces the risk of breast cancer.

41. Safe Reproducible Breast Reduction.

Author

Faulkner HR, Merceron T, Wang J, and Losken A

Abstract

Breast reduction is a common operation performed by plastic surgeons. Patients can have significant improvement in physical symptoms in addition to increased self-esteem, body image, and quality of life as a result. The authors describe common techniques for breast reduction and provide representative photographs and videos of these techniques. An evidence-based review is provided for patient selection criteria, common surgical techniques, and methods to avoid and treat complications. Information is also provided on patient education about breast reduction. In most cases, breast reduction is safe to perform in the outpatient setting. The Wise pattern and vertical pattern are among the most common techniques for skin incisions, and the inferior and superomedial pedicles are two of the most common pedicles used in breast reduction. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols are helpful to effectively control pain and reduce narcotic use postoperatively. Patient satisfaction after breast reduction surgery is typically high. Multiple techniques are available to successfully perform breast reduction. The plastic surgeon needs to select patients carefully and determine the appropriate technique to use. Patient education about the operation, recovery, expected result, and risks is an important component of achieving an optimal result., Competing Interests: The authors have no financial interest to declare in relation to the content of this article.
