Optimizing aesthetic results in Asian women with giant phyllodes tumors over 10 cm: the periareolar mastopexy approach.

Giant phyllodes tumors, typically exceeding 10 cm in size, are neoplastic lesions with malignant potential. Surgical excision in small-breasted Asian women presents unique challenges where expected poor aesthetic outcomes may delay timely medical intervention. The periareolar mastopexy technique offers a comprehensive solution, enabling complete tumor removal alongside mastopexy to achieve optimal breast contouring. This approach consistently delivers favorable aesthetic outcomes, enhancing symmetry and contour. Additionally, the periareolar approach minimizes visible scarring, thereby enhancing patient satisfaction with the cosmetic outcome. Herein, we present a case report of Asian women with giant phyllodes tumors exceeding 10 cm, successfully managed using the periareolar mastopexy technique, emphasizing the importance of optimizing aesthetic outcomes in these challenging cases.
