Oncoplastia, reconstrucción prepectoral inmediata e injerto libre del complejo areola-pezón en paciente BRCA 1. Informe de un caso

Abstract

Immediate prepectoral reconstruction is an increasingly widespread alternative for patients with a higher genetic susceptibility to breast cancer. The most commonly used technique for mastectomy and prepectoral reconstruction with acellular mesh is a lateral incision approach without changing the characteristics of the skin envelope. Patients with significant breast ptosis can be a limitation in prepectoral reconstruction due to the prosthetic projection in the new breast centre, which will be cranial to the nipple–areola complex. There are no documented cases in the available scientific literature describing immediate prepectoral reconstructions with free grafts of the nipple–areola complex. We present the clinical case of a 34-year-old woman with a family history of breast cancer and a diagnosis of BRCA 1 gene mutation. She underwent subcutaneous mastectomy through a vertical mammoplasty pattern and prepectoral reconstruction with prosthesis and acellular mesh with free grafting of the nipple–areola complex in the new breast centre. We show that it is possible to associate the design of an oncoplastic pattern with free grafting of the nipple–areola complex to an immediate prepectoral reconstruction technique with prosthesis and acellular mesh.
