Tuberous breast is a so-called mammary deformity which associates: deficient and contracted base, enlarged nipple-areolar complex, glandular herniation through the areola. The parenchyma is reduced, cylindrical, asymmetric, and frequently posted. Surgery reveals a basic glandular ring. The gland passes through this ring like a "glove's finger", revealing the herniation. All the cases are very different, but the surgical correction is common: concentric skin excision for areolar reduction. "V" vertical excision, allowing gland dissection. Via the skin wedge of the "V", extended dissection is carried out and half of the breast is denuded. The inferior mammary sulcus is released. The basal ring is cut and the posterior breast tissue is radially incised to expanding base, the parenchyma is stretched out. Correction of volume abnormalities: augmentation (implant), posterior reduction of symmetry. Correction of ptosis by skin redraping over the new mammary shape.

Breast-related herniation (BRH) is a vague term for many clinicians. The absence of a universal nomenclature and the different nature of the herniation process involved, being true or false, contribute to this vagueness. BRH includes a spectrum of disorders ranging from a few congenital breast disorders to commoner herniation processes related to acquired breast diseases.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to explore the coexistence of Poland Syndrome (PS) and Tuberous Breast (TB) abnormalities in female adolescents and assess how to manage TB in patients with PS.
- Data was collected from 51 PS patients over 13 years, finding that 45% also developed TB, with varying severity and treatment approaches like implants and fat grafting.
- The findings suggest that TB is more common in PS patients than the general population, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach for effective treatment and better cosmetic outcomes.
