Abstract
Reduction mammaplasty (RM) is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures. Despite its cost, the total number of RM procedures continues to increase every year.The purpose of this study is to review the prevalence of benign and malignant breast lesions among women who live in the Aegean region of Turkey, based on our university hospital's records and to compare our results with those in the literature.Seven hundred and thirty-three consecutive female patients who underwent RM between January 2003 and January 2017 in the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery were included in this study.One hundred and sixty-five patients (23.4%) had preoperative breast imaging results. According to the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS), most of these patients had BI-RADS-2 and BIRADS-1 findings (41.21% and 40%, respectively). Fibrocystic changes were the most common lesions (81.3%). Sixty-eight patients (9.6%) had normal breast tissue on the right side and 34 patients (4.8%) had the same on the left side. Five patients (0.71%) had atypical ductal hyperplasia and no atypical lobular carcinoma. Four patients (0.56%) had occult breast cancer and one patient (0.14%) had benign phyllodes tumor.RM is a good opportunity to detect proliferative lesions and occult breast cancer. While meeting the patient's aesthetic desires, the plastic surgeon should consider for histopathological evaluation. We suggest that every part of the breast tissue should be sent to pathological examination regardless of the weight of the specimen. Even if health insurance does not cover its cost, patients should be informed about the importance of this process.
