Pediatric chest wall and breast deformities.
[proteus syndrome]
Pediatric
chest
wall
and
breast
deformities
present
as
a
wide
spectrum
of
anomalies
,
and
often
occur
coincidentally
.
Chest
wall
abnormalities
fall
into
two
categories
,
congenital
(
which
are
largely
hypoplastic
)
and
deformational
(
including
both
chest
wall
malignancies
and
postoperative
abnormalities
)
.
Breast
abnormalities
can
be
categorized
into
three
groups
,
including
hypoplastic
,
hyperplastic
,
and
deformational
anomalies
.
Hypoplastic
breast
anomalies
require
reconstruction
with
augmentation
techniques
and
are
often
associated
with
significant
reoperative
rates
,
as
are
deformational
anomalies
;
hyperplastic
abnormalities
require
reduction
techniques
and
are
less
likely
to
require
reoperation
.
Considerations
about
surgical
correction
of
pediatric
chest
wall
and
breast
deformities
often
require
coordinated
efforts
between
pediatric
and
pediatric
plastic
surgeons
with
anticipation
of
continued
growth
of
the
child
and
careful
timing
for
treatment
to
maximize
functional
and
aesthetic
outcomes
.
