Congenital breast absence is a rare condition with varied presentation and inheritance. This case study details a mother and daughter with this condition, highlighting the mother's successful breast reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Congenital Abnormalities

Background:

  • Congenital breast absence, a rare condition, exhibits significant heterogeneity in clinical presentation and genetic inheritance patterns.
  • Understanding the diverse manifestations and inheritance of congenital breast absence is crucial for accurate diagnosis and genetic counseling.

Observation:

  • A familial case involving a mother and daughter presenting with congenital breast absence is described.
  • The mother underwent a bilateral transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap procedure for breast reconstruction.

Findings:

  • This case illustrates a potential hereditary component in congenital breast absence.
  • Successful breast reconstruction using TRAM flaps is demonstrated as a viable option for affected individuals.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the understanding of congenital breast absence's heterogeneous nature and potential familial links.
  • The successful TRAM flap reconstruction highlights reconstructive options for congenital breast absence, offering insights for surgical planning and patient management.
