Breast lipofilling as a treatment for breast hypoplasia in Becker naevus syndrome: a case report

Abstract

A Becker’s naevus is a rare, pigmented, cutaneous hamartoma, which when associated with other cutaneous or musculoskeletal anomalies is termed Becker naevus syndrome. Female patients commonly seek medical attention for breast hypoplasia. Here, we describe our experience in the surgical management of unilateral breast hypoplasia in a patient with Becker naevus syndrome, using high-volume autologous fat grafting. This is, to our knowledge, the second report in the literature describing the aforementioned management technique in this patient cohort.

Lipofilling in Breast Oncological Surgery: A Safe Opportunity or Risk for Cancer Recurrence?

“…SAT represents an abundant and accessible source of multipotent stem cells responsible for the regenerative potential of FG used not only to correct soft-tissue defects after breast reconstruction but including different clinical applications [44,72]. Human AT was described as source of adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for the first time by Zuk et al in 2001 [73].…”
