“…First, for some patients, breast cancer developed at the transplantation site, often with spread to the surrounding lymph nodes; pleas were urgently issued to screen patients more carefully or to abandon the procedure altogether. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Second, implantation during reconstruction was sometimes compromised or failed because of insufficient blood supply, which resulted in necrosis of the NAC 19,26 or ultimate poor cosmesis, particularly hypopigmentation or fibrosis. 6,25,26 These problems overwhelmed the feasibility of this technique for patients with breast cancer and it was rapidly abandoned.…”

“…Early attempts to graft the nipple–areola complex temporarily on the thigh and later graft it back on the reconstructed breast resulted in a small number of case reports in which women had recurrent disease as a direct consequence of this practice18–20. This may have reinforced the dogma that the nipple should not be preserved in mastectomy.…”

“…As a result, stressors, including surgery, may induce oncogenic changes in tissue. In contrast, “nipple banking” was formally performed to rebuild a nipple, which is a technique in which a nipple is taken from a site on the ipsilateral breast, banked in the groin, and then later returned to the chest [ 14 , 15 ]. Nevertheless, the nipple was taken in the case without apparent involvement of the nipple with carcinoma; some cases of the development of heterotopic carcinoma in the transplanted nipple were reported.…”
