Hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola is a rare, sporadic, benign condition characterized by verrucosus thickening and brownish discoloration of the nipple and areola. Approximately 50 cases of hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola have been reported in the literature. Dermatologists treated most of them conservatively. We have described the case of healthy 19-year-old girl with bilateral nevoid hyperkeratosis of the areola and our treatment by surgical removal of the areola and reconstruction with a skin graft. As far as we know, this is the first report of this kind of treatment. The final result is esthetically excellent and without recurrence during 12 months' follow-up.

Nipple Position and Clinical Outcomes Following Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy: An Examination of Prepectoral and Subpectoral Implant-Based Reconstruction Using 3D Imaging.

Background: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, the impact of prepectoral versus subpectoral implant reconstruction on nipple position, clinical outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after NSM remains unknown.
Objective: We hypothesized that prepectoral reconstruction would lead to a more anatomic nipple position and improved clinical outcomes and PROs as compared to subpectoral reconstruction following NSM.

Introduction: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin malignancy, accounting for approximately 80% of all non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs). Ultraviolet (UV) exposure is a significant risk factor for BCC development, which typically occurs in sun-exposed areas. BCC arising in non-sun-exposed regions, such as the nipple-areola complex (NAC), is exceedingly rare, with fewer than 100 cases reported globally.

Background: Most patients undergoing breast surgery with free nipple grafts lose nipple erection (NE) function. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of nerve preservation and reconstruction with targeted nipple-areola complex reinnervation (TNR) on NE following gender-affirming mastectomy with free nipple grafting.
Methods: Patients undergoing gender-affirming mastectomy with free nipple grafts were prospectively enrolled.

Introduction: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) aims to improve patient satisfaction by preserving the nipple-areola complex (NAC) while ensuring oncologic safety. Different surgical incisions, such as inframammary fold (IMF) and periareolar/radial incisions, are used in NSM; however, their impact on NAC sensory loss remains unclear. In this study, the authors aimed to assess NAC sensation after NSM and compare the results of different incisional approaches, specifically IMF versus periareolar/radial.
