Congenital and acquired pediatric breast anomalies: a review of 20 years' experience.

摘要: Background: The purpose of this article was to review the senior author's 20 years experience in treatment pediatric breast abnormalities, propose a classification system for their treatment, and provide synopsis options. Methods: Congenital acquired anomalies were identified retrospective chart (n = 66). Breast abnormalities classified as hyperplastic 44), deformational 11), or hypoplastic 11). Hyperplastic included gynecomastia, hyperplasia, polythelia, polymastia, giant fibroadenoma. Deformational categorized either iatrogenic (previous thoracostomy, thoracotomy, tumor excision) traumatic (thermal penetrating injuries). Hypoplastic athelia, unilateral bilateral hypoplasia, tuberous breast, Poland syndrome. Type surgery, age at initial operation, number operations recorded all patients. Results: treated with reduction techniques required fewest per patient (1.14), followed by injury (2.1 patient). average procedures 2.45 patient. highest reoperation rates seen patients burn injuries Mean operation group (18.5 years) lowest (17.4 years). Conclusion: Classification considerations about timing surgery likely need staged aid anticipating optimizing clinical outcomes.
