Abstract

The present study was driven by the scarcity of suitable materials for mending partial breast defects and the imperative considerations of safety and durability. The current study presents findings from two female patients, aged 59 and 40, who underwent breast cancer treatment. Patient 1 underwent a mastectomy with a sentinel lymph node biopsy, while patient 2 underwent a partial mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection. Core needle biopsy confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma in both cases. Breast ultrasound revealed hypoechoic lesions with smooth edges. The reconstruction of the breast defect employed an acellular dermal matrix, and the safety and cosmetic outcomes for each patient were analyzed. At 3 months post‑radiotherapy, neither patient experienced significant complications. The preservation of breast contour and volume was satisfactory, with no postoperative tumor recurrences detected. In summary, utilizing an acellular dermal matrix with a three‑dimensional grid design for partial breast defect reconstruction offers a viable alternative that aligns with oncological safety standards and provides good cosmetic results.
