Abstract
The correction of type II sequelae of breast conservative surgery is a difficult problem to solve. The authors present the case of a 39Â years old woman, in which the repair has been carried out in two steps. A latissimus dorsi muscular flap is first realised, then a breast implant and a double-opposing Z plasty on the areola finish the reconstruction. The final result is very satisfactory in a cosmetic point of view, with a little cost in terms of scars. This difficult case presents the muscular variant of the latissimus dorsi flap, as a technique of choice in the post-quadrantectomy sequelae.
