“…Currently, protuberant NAC does not fit appropriately in either classification, but is a real clinical entity with typical morphological characteristics. 18 The main classification systems, nevertheless, are based on a subjective clinical assessment of the deformity and inevitably results in substantial interobserver variability.…”

“…Furthermore, a complete periareolar incision allows for nipple-areolar-complex reshaping, repositioning and breast mastopexy. 2,14,16,21,[24][25][26] Glandular detachment procedure was also greatly employed in the literature. The procedure involved the complete interruption of retractile fibers connecting muscular and glandular tissue.…”

“…The technique was greatly used with breast reduction surgeries in bigger breasts or to balance out the contralateral breast volumes. 21,26,31 Breast implants have been vastly employed in different procedures for TB correction. In particular, they were used to adapt the breast volume and to provide the correct conical shape when absent.…”

Background: Tuberous breast (TB) deformity is a condition characterized by alterations in breast morphology and tissue structure with high prevalence in the general population. The literature provides sparse descriptions of TB, as not many investigations on the condition have been conducted. The aim of this review was to analyze and provide a holistic overview on the morphological characteristics of the TB. Methods: A review of current literature was performed using the PubMed database from 2001 to 2021. The key words used for the review included “tuberous breast,” “constricted breast,” and “stenotic breast.” We included articles that analyzed the anatomic and histologic characteristics of TB. Results: From 213 articles, only 42 met the inclusion criteria. A total of 171 articles were excluded, as they were letters, not related to the condition, or were written in a foreign language. The studies in this review drew on hypothesis on the embryological origin of TB and analyzed the composition of TB tissues, consisting in a constricting fibrous ring, made of longitudinally arranged collagen and elastic fibers. Furthermore, the review reports the different anatomical and surgical classifications, as well as the various surgical corrective procedures developed throughout history up to 2021. Conclusion: The review describes all etiological, epidemiologic, anatomical, histological, and surgical characteristics of tuberous breast.

“…We appreciate the interest in our recently published technique for percutaneous correction of protuberant nipple [8]. The therapeutic indications for this technique, however, are clearly indicated in the article [1]. Percutaneous electrocoagulation of the NAC can be also viewed as a preventive method for NAC herniation and areola widening, because of the controlled scaring in the subdermal structures of the NAC [8].…”
