Abstract

This report describes the management of a 28-year-old female patient who had herniation of part of her left breast through a defect in the superficial fascia of the anterior thoracic wall. Closure of the defect was associated with correction of the deformity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing such a lesion.
