A novel use of PICO dressing with sterile sponge for the treatment of a deep ulcerated wound in a breast cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy.

Wound management in patients with deep ulcerated wounds can be challenging, especially in the context of an outpatient setting. This is further confounded in patients undergoing chemotherapy. There is a lack of literature on the outpatient management of ulcerated breast wounds in patients having neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. This case report describes the use of a negative pressure wound treatment system leading to satisfactory wound healing and ultimately improving a patient's quality-of-life during chemotherapy.

An unusual case of complete pathological response to Paget's disease of the breast.

Mammary Paget's disease is a rare form of breast cancer present in ~0.5-2.8% of breast cancers. The patients have a poorer prognosis, and usually, the appropriate therapy is based on the pathologic findings of the mass and axillary staging. This report adds the outcomes of Paget's disease following neoadjuvant chemotherapy to the literature by description of a case of a 48-year-old patient with Paget's disease who had a complete pathological response to Paget's disease of the breast following neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Management based on grading of animation deformity following implant-based subpectoral breast reconstruction.

Subpectoral breast reconstruction using implants and meshes have been used widely in Europe, the United States and the United Kingdom. Although this technique has several advantages, animation deformity is a well-documented problem. We propose a new grading system to classify breast animation in patients undergoing subpectoral implant based breast reconstruction. We also discuss different techniques to avoid and correct animation deformity.
