Abstract
Congenital absence of the breast is a rare condition. The literature shows that there is much heterogeneity in its presentation as well as its inheritance. We described a mother and daughter with the condition and how the mother underwent breast reconstruction with use of bilateral transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps.
