Transposition flap for correction of ectopic breast in Poland's syndrome using a pre-molded silicone prosthesis

Retalho de transposição para correção de mama ectópica em síndrome de Poland usando prótese de silicone pré-moldada

The authors report a variation of Poland's syndrome with ectopic right breast. Three surgeries were performed at different times: transposition flap to place the mammary gland in an anatomic position; reduction of the contralateral left breast; and implantation of a pre-molded silicone prosthesis to correct the malformation caused by the absence of the major and minor pectoral muscles. The surgeries were performed at six-month intervals, and the final outcome was new and acceptable positioning of the breasts.
