Oncoplastic mammoplasty

round block technique

Abstract

The round‑block oncoplastic technique or Donut is used for immediate reconstruction for segmentectomy or quadrantectomies in patients with breast cancer, the technique was initially indicated for breast ptosis treatments and mammary hypertrophy until it evolved for the treatment of breast cancer located in any quadrant of the breast. In this article we present a case of a woman with 53 years old who present a ductal carcinoma luminal A type. Tumor size was classified as T1 stage, the patient had a medium size breast, ideal for this type of technique. The tumor was resected with clear margins, getting a good oncologic outcome and with good cosmetic results with a periareolar scar that is less apparent than a vertical one.
