Surgical Management of Breast Deformity in a Young Patient With Localized Scleroderma
2013
Localized scleroderma in the chest region of adolescent girls leads to incomplete breast development and breast asymmetry, for which patients may require treatment. The site of localized scleroderma, its activity, the surgeon, and the patient's desires influence the selection of treatment method. There have been few reports on surgical treatment of this disease. In the current report, we present a case in which improved breast asymmetry was achieved through multiphased surgery, and we review treatment methods and indications of this disease.
