“…These findings indicate the incidence of IH as 1:5000 that is significantly higher than previous 1:13,000 to 1:86,000 estimates. While the initial genetic mutation that leads to IH and the subsequent syndromes appeared in Europe in the 19 th century, it was rapidly spreading over the planet in the20 th century and became a global phenomenon in the 21 st century 1,4,6–8…”

Introduction: Isolated or congenital hemihypertrophy is a rare disorder characterized by asymmetric overgrowth of one side of the body. This article describes the protocol and preliminary results of a lateral body asymmetry (hemihypertrophy) screening procedure performed in healthy adolescents in a multicenter study. The reported incidence of hemihypertrophy varies between different publications and standardized protocols are needed to improve research in this area.Methods: Our screening program is taking place in Australia, Israel, Mexico, Ukraine and USA. Procedure includes two steps: (1) “three measurements – three questions” screening, or assessment of face, palms, and shins; (2) in-depth assessment of selected cases in order to exclude localized, lesional, and syndrome-related cases as well as body asymmetry within normative range and to select suspected cases of isolated hemihypertrophy. This step includes measurements of various anatomical regions and a detailed questionnaire.Results: At this stage, the screening procedure is completed and the selected participants are advised to refer to medical institutions for further clinical and genetic follow up to exclude possible tumors and other accompanying disorders.Conclusion: We present an easy-to-use selection tool to identify children with suspected IH, which results in the selection of the risk group that may benefit from referral to a pediatrician and a clinical geneticist.

“…Such estimation may be inaccurate, as the age of onset of IH can vary between the cases. Numerous case reports describe patients who were first referred to a pediatrician between 10 and18 years of age 2–4…”

“…1,2 More complicated cases have also been reported, including resection of an exceptionally large lesion with or without special plastic surgery techniques. 3,[5][6][7] Benign breast lesions are common, but they do not cause high concern among surgeons. Reports to date have mainly focused on benign lesions of either exceptionable size or uncommon pathological types.…”

“…However, in patients with multiple small-to medium-sized unilateral or bilateral nodules, the clinical outcome and patient satisfaction are impeded by the need for multiple incisions and repeated surgeries to treat diffusely located nodules or recurrent diseases. 3 Reduction mammoplasty and mastopexy are classical surgical techniques usually applied in patients with macromastia and/ or mastoptosis. 4 These plastic surgery techniques have been gradually accepted by breast surgeons and applied in selected patients with breast cancer, resulting in acceptable oncological and cosmetic outcomes.…”

Treatment of multiple benign breast nodules is sometimes challenging with respect to establishing a surgical plan that achieves both therapeutic and cosmetic goals. Successful application of oncoplastic techniques has been reported in selected cases of benign breast lesions. In this case report, we present the surgical treatment and outcome of a patient with multiple fibroadenomas in ptotic and voluminous breasts. A combined procedure of extensive glandular resection and reduction mammoplasty using a modified vertical pedicle technique was performed on this patient, who desired complete lesion removal, volume reduction, and mastopexy. The cosmetic result was satisfactory at both the short- and mid-term follow-up. In addition, different techniques applied in the treatment of breast fibroadenoma are herein reviewed and discussed.
