Résumé
@#Nevoid hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola (NHNA) is a rare, asymptomatic skin condition characterized by verrucous, hyperpigmented papules, and plaques. It predominantly affects the nipple and areola, often bilaterally. Less than 50 cases have been reported worldwide, with only 39% showing unilateral breast involvement. In the Philippines, a single medical literature from 2014 describes two cases of adolescent‑onset NHNA. We report a rare case of a 40‑year‑old, Filipino woman with a 1‑year history of a mildly pruritic, solitary, well‑demarcated, irregularly shaped, black papule that progressed into a plaque on her right areola. There was suspicion of cutaneous malignancy due to some of the clinical features of the lesion and lack of response to initial treatment. With a correlation between clinical presentation and histopathologic findings, the features were consistent with NHNA. This is a benign skin condition that can mimic and must be differentiated from malignant tumors. Various treatment modalities were described in different medical literatures, some resulting in recurrence or treatment failure, but there is no standard management for this condition. Skin biopsy is crucial to rule out malignancy in cases presenting with persistent and progressively solitary pigmented lesions that do not respond to topical medications. The usual treatment options based on literature include various topicals, lasers, and surgical procedures. In our case, clobetasol propionate ointment was used. While most published cases show varied responses to topical corticosteroids, the result in our case was significant.

OBJECTIVE@#To review the advances in methods for reconstructing nipple projection based on tissue graft support.@*METHODS@#The literature related to nipple projection reconstruction based on tissue graft support was reviewed and summarized in terms of the advantages and disadvantages of various tissue grafts and the improved nipple projection results.@*RESULTS@#Loss of nipple projection is a common cause of decreased patient's satisfaction. Reconstructing nipple projection based on tissue graft support is a more common clinical method and can be done with autologous and allogeneic tissues. Autologous tissue grafts include dermis, adipose tissue with dermis, adipose tissue, ear cartilage, rib cartilage, and contralateral nipple tissue. Autologous tissue grafts are easy to obtain and have no immune rejection, but may lead to donor area damage and prolong the surgical time for tissue collection. Allogeneic tissue grafts include acellular dermal matrix, lyophilized rib cartilage, and extracellular matrix collagen, and decellularized nipple tissue. Allogeneic tissue grafts do not cause additional donor area damage, are highly malleable, and can be designed to be utilized according to the recipient area, but the high cost often limits the development of this technique.@*CONCLUSION@#There is no gold standard regarding tissue graft-assisted nipple projection reconstruction techniques, and there are advantages and disadvantages to both autologous and allogeneic tissue grafts. Surgeons should choose the appropriate graft based on the actual condition of the patient.

Objective: To explore the surgical strategy of nipple areola complex (NAC) management in central breast cancer. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 164 cases of central breast cancer who underwent surgery treatment from December 2017 to December 2020 in the Breast Center of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University. Prior to the surgery, the tumor-nipple distance (TND) and the maximum diameter of the tumor were measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The presence of nipple invagination, nipple discharge, and nipple ulceration (including nipple Paget's disease) were recorded accordingly. NAC was preserved in patients with TND≥0.5 cm, no signs of NAC invasion (nipple invagination, nipple ulceration) and negative intraoperative frozen pathological margin. All patients with signs of NAC involvement, TND<0.5 cm or positive NAC basal resection margin confirmed by intraoperative frozen pathology underwent NAC removal. χ(2) test or Fisher exact test was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results: Of the 164 cases of central breast cancer, 73 cases underwent breast-conserving surgery, 43 cases underwent nipple-areola complex sparing mastectomy (NSM), 34 cases underwent total mastectomy, and the remaining 14 cases underwent skin sparing mastectomy (SSM). Among the 58 cases of NAC resection (including 34 cases of total mastectomy, 14 cases of SSM, and 10 cases of breast-conserving surgery), 25 cases were confirmed tumor involving NAC (total mastectomy in 12 cases, SSM in 9 cases, and breast-conserving surgery in 4 cases). The related factors of NAC involvement included TND (P=0.040) and nipple invagination (P=0.031). There were no correlations between tumor size (P=0.519), lymph node metastasis (P=0.847), bloody nipple discharge (P=0.742) and NAC involvement. During the follow-up period of 12 to 48 months, there was 1 case of local recurrence and 3 cases of distant metastasis. Conclusions: For central breast cancer, data suggest that patients with TND≥0.5cm, no signs of NAC invasion (nipple invagination, nipple ulceration) and negative NAC margin in intraoperative frozen pathology should be treated with NAC preservation surgery, whereas for those with TND<0.5 cm or accompanied by signs of NAC invasion, NAC should be removed. In addition, nipple reconstruction can be selected to further improve the postoperative appearance of patients with central breast cancer.

Objective: To examine the outcome of different incision selection for nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) with implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR). Methods: Ninety-Two cases accepted NSM and IBBR from totally 1 002 cases of breast cancer admitted to Beijing Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from June 2013 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients were female, aging (42.0±7.5) years (range: 27 to 64 years). There were 12 patients at stage 0, 47 patients at stage Ⅰ, 17 patients at stage Ⅱ, and 16 patients at stage Ⅲ. The patients were divided in three groups by the incision: peri-areolar group (n=23), inframammary group (n=33) and lateral group (n=36). The age, tumor size, lymph node status, hormone receptor, operation method and postoperative complications were followed-up of three groups and compared by one-way ANOVA, χ2 test or Fisher's exact test and expansion to comparied. Results: There was no significant difference in operation time ((180.7±54.0) minutes vs. (176.9±48.1) minutes vs. (194.6±37.5) minutes, F=1.401, P=0.252), postoperative drainage volume ((497.5±226.0) ml vs. (495.4±182.5) ml vs. (519.8±172.0) ml, F=0.167, P=0.846) and drainage time ((8.8±3.8) days vs. (8.0±2.5) days vs. (8.3±2.9) days, F=0.542, P=0.583) among the peri-areolar, inframammary, and lateral groups. The cumulative postoperative complications were relatively higher in the peri-areola group (26.1%(6/23) vs. 0 vs.8.3%(3/36), χ²=9.675, P=0.004). All female patients were followed up for (49.0±25.6) months(range: 12 to 112 months). Breast cancer related death rate was 2.2% (2/92), local recurrence was 1.1% (1/92), regional recurrence was 4.3% (4/92), distant metastasis was 6.5% (6/92), and the disease-free survival rate was 88.0% (81/92). Conclusion: The surgical effects of the peri-areolar, inframammary and lateral incisions for NSM and IBBR are approximate, the total complication rate of the peri-areolar incision is slightly higher.

El frenillo lingual corto, o anquiloglosia, puede generar problemas durante la lactancia con repercusión en el desarrollo del lactante, daño en el pezón de la madre y abandono precoz de la lactancia. Actualmente no existe homogeneidad en los criterios diagnósticos, lo que ocasiona tanto sobrediagnóstico como infradiagnóstico de esta alteración, con las consecuencias clínicas que ello conlleva. La dificultad en el abordaje radica en saber cuándo se trata de variantes anatómicas normales o de un frenillo lingual sin repercusión funcional, y cuándo los problemas de lactancia, que clásicamente se le atribuyen se deben realmente al frenillo. Alrededor del 50 % de los niños con frenillo lingual corto no presenta problemas de lactancia o estos se resuelven con apoyo y asesoramiento. En el resto de casos se puede recurrir a tratamiento quirúrgico. En este artículo se ha realizado una actualización de la clasificación y tratamiento de la anquiloglosia que permitirá a los profesionales un manejo adecuado de estos pacientes
Short frenulum, or ankyloglossia, may lead to breastfeeding problems, with an impact on infant development, nipple damage, and early abandonment of breastfeeding. There are currently no homogeneous diagnostic criteria, thus leading to both overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis and associated clinical consequences. The challenge to approach this condition lies in establishing whether it is a normal anatomical variation or a lingual frenulum without a functional impact and when breastfeeding difficulties which are typically attributed to it are actually caused by the frenulum. Approximately 50 % of ankyloglossia cases do not result in breastfeeding problems or these can be resolved with support and advice. Surgery may be proposed for the rest of the cases. This article offers an update on the classification and treatment of ankyloglossia, which will help health care providers to provide an adequate management to these patients

Abstract Objectives: to measure the micro-cost of local laser therapy (LL) and transcutaneous laser therapy application by Irradiation Laser Intravascular of Blood (ILIB) to treat nipple trauma and compare the most effective and efficient alternative treatment. Methods: a cross-sectional analytical and quantitative study with analysis on the micro absorption cost, implemented as a clipping, from a randomized clinical trial that used two types of laser therapy to treat nipple trauma due to breastfeeding. The sample consisted of 101 nipple lesions. Patients were randomized into three groups (Control - CG, Local Laser -LLG and ILIB-ILIBG). Materials used, direct labor (DL) and laser equipment were predictors of costs. The delta calculation (effect size) was the indicator for measuring effectiveness and efficiency. Results: after three sessions, the average final cost was R$ 40.04for CG, R$ 53.55for LLG and R$ 67.29for ILIBG. After three sessions of treatment, ILIBG showed a great reduction in the lesion area, but with a higher cost (p<0.05). Conclusions: ILIBG had a better effect on healing the nipple trauma when compared to CG and LLG, even though it is more expensive, it suggests a positive cost-benefit and the most effective and efficient alternative treatment.
Resumo Objetivos: mensurar o microcusteio da aplicação de Laserterapia Local (LL) e trans-cutânea por Irradiation Laser Intravascular of Blood (ILIB) no tratamento de traumas mamilares e comparar a alternativa de tratamento mais eficaz e eficiente. Métodos: estudo transversal analítico do tipo quantitativo com análise de microcusteio de procedimento por absorção, implementado como recorte, de um ensaio clínico rando-mizado que utilizou duas modalidades de laserterapia para tratamento de traumas mamilares ocasionados pela amamentação. A amostra foi composta de 101 lesões mamilares. As pacientes foram aleatorizadas em três grupos (Controle - GG, Laser Local - GLL e ILIB -GILIB). Foram preditores de custos os materiais consumidos, Mão de obra Direta (MoD) e o equipamentos de laser O cálculo Delta (tamanho do efeito) foi o indicador para a medida da eficácia e eficiência. Resultados: após três sessões, a média do custo final foi de R$ 40,04 para o GC, R$ 53,55 para o GLL e R$ 67,29 para o GILIB. Após três sessões de tratamento, GILIB apresentou maior redução da área da lesão, contudo custo mais elevado (p<0,05). Conclusão: o GILIB teve efeito melhor na cicatrização dos traumas mamilares quando comparado com o GC e GLL, mesmo sendo mais caro sugere um custo benefício positivo e a alternativa de tratamento mais eficaz eficiente.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the nurses' perception about the implementation of the titling process of Hospital Amigo da Criança of a Teaching Hospital in southern Brazil. Method: it is a research with a descriptive and exploratory qualitative approach. The data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews with 14 nurses who work in the Maternal-Infant Unit of the Teaching Hospital of the Federal University of Pelotas and the data were analyzed according to Minayo's Operative proposal. Results: the nurses feel co-responsible, even not participating in some phases of the process, they emphasize that the process is difficult, there is weakness in the engagement of the multidisciplinary team, as well as in institutional encouragement. They highlighted that encouraging breastfeeding, skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding in the 1st hour of life and rooming-in are the actions that enhance the process, relying on the use of a nipple/pacifier and the number of cesarean deliveries performed in the institution. Conclusion: most nurses declare them selves participative and active in the search for the title of Hospital Amigo da Criança, even though they do not participate in all phases of the process and proposed activities. The results presented may provide subsidies to managers and health professionals in the construction of actions to ensure that more hospitals reach the title and "IHAC".

Objective To analyze the reasons of misdiagnosis of primary syphilitic chancre and strengthen the understanding of atypical features of this disease. Methods A case series of twenty-seven challenging primary syphilis patients who were not immediately recognized as chancre was included in our study. The clinical data including the patients' age, sex, skin lesions, HIV status, syphilis serologic test results, treatment, and follow-up results were collected. Hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemistry staining of skin biopsy sections were reviewed. Results Four female cases with extragenital chancres presenting as erythema or erosive skin lesions on the nipple were misdiagnosed as Paget's disease or eczema. The disorder of missed or misdiagnosed male cases manifested as syphilitic balanitis or multiple chancres on the penis root and adjacent pubis rather than coronal sulcus or frenum. Patients with nonreactive nontreponemal tests at initial presentation were also easily missed or misdiagnosed. Conclusion Primary syphilis presenting as multiple lesions rather than a single chancre, at atypical locations, or with a nonreactive nontreponemal test result, tends to be missed or misdiagnosed.

BACKGROUND@#Mastectomy techniques have been extended to nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM). This study aimed to assess the actual application of NSM in China and identify the factors influencing postoperative complications.@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 615 patients (641 surgeries) undergoing NSM from January 1st, 2018 to December 31st, 2018 at 28 centers nationwide were retrospectively analyzed to obtain the rate of NSM and investigate factors related to NSM surgery.@*RESULTS@#The proportion of NSM surgery performed in this study was 2.67% (17/641). Malignant breast tumors accounted for the majority of NSM surgery (559/641, 87.2%). A total of 475 (77.3%) patients underwent NSM combined with reconstructive surgery. The rate of reconstruction decreased with age in our study, and implants were the most common option (344/641, 53.7%) in reconstruction. Radial incision was the most selected method regardless of reconstruction. However, for those who underwent reconstruction surgery, 18.4% (85/462) of cases also chose curvilinear incision, while in the simple NSM surgery group, more patients chose circumareolar incision (26/136, 19.1%). The tumor-to-nipple distance (TND) influenced postoperative complications (P = 0.004). There were no relationships between postoperative complications and tumor size, tumor location, histologic grade, molecular subtype, nipple discharge, and axillary lymph nodes.@*CONCLUSIONS@#NSM surgery is feasible and only TND influenced postoperative complications of NSM surgery. But the proportion of NSM surgery performed is still low in nationwide centers of China. The selection criteria for appropriate surgical methods are important for NSM in clinical practice. To optimize clinical applications of NSM, further multicenter prospective randomized controlled studies are needed.@*TRIAL REGISTRATION@#ChiCTR.org.cn, ChiCTR1900027423; http://www.chictr.org.cn/showprojen.aspx?proj=38739.

Abstract Objectives: to evaluate the effect of an intervention on the incidence of nipple trauma and the quality of breastfeeding technique in the first month of postpartum. Methods: this is a quasi-randomized intervention study with 180 puerperal women equally distributed between experimental and control groups. The intervention was performed at a maternity and consisted of an educational session on breastfeeding technique. A descrip-tive analysis of the groups' characteristics was performed, comparing the frequencies of unfa-vorable parameters related to breastfeeding technique between groups. Pearson's chi-square test and Fisher's test were used, and p≤0.05 was adopted as the critical level of significance. Results: at 30 days, 64% and 15% of the mothers used the technique correctly, respec-tively, in the experimental and control groups with RR=4.87 (CI95%=2.93-8.34); NNT=1.96 (CI95% =1.61-2.72); p<0.001. In the experimental group, a decrease was observed in the unfavorable parameters of the breastfeeding technique (p≤0.05). The incidence of nipple trauma was 30% in the experimental group and 38.9% in the control group (p=0.21). Conclusions: the intervention was insufficient to prevent nipple trauma in the experi-mental group, but significantly improved the quality in the breastfeeding technique.
Resumo Objetivos: avaliar o efeito de uma intervenção na incidência de traumas mamilares e na qualidade da técnica de amamentar no primeiro mês pós-parto. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo de intervenção quasi randomizado com 180 puérperas distribuídas entre os grupos experimental e controle. A intervenção foi realizada na mater-nidade e consistiu de sessão educativa sobre a técnica de amamentar. Foi realizada análise descritiva das características dos grupos, comparadas as frequências dos parâmetros desfa-voráveis da técnica de amamentar. O teste do qui-quadrado de Pearson e teste de Fisher foram utilizados, sendo adotado p≤ 0,05 como nível crítico de significância. Resultados: aos 30 dias, 64% e 15%, das mães apresentaram técnica correta, respectiva-mente, nos grupos experimental e controle com RR= 4,87 (IC95%=2,93-8,34); NNT= 1,96 (IC95%=1,61-2,72); p<0,001.No grupo experimental percebeu-se que houve diminuição dos parâmetros desfavoráveis da técnica de amamentar (p≤0,05). A incidência de trauma mamilar foi de 30% no grupo experimental e 38,9% no grupo controle (p=0,21). Conclusão: no grupo experimental a intervenção realizada não foi suficiente para prevenir a ocorrência de traumas mamilares, porém melhorou significantemente a qualidade da técnica de amamentar.
