Abstract
Modified radical mastectomy with transplantation of the nipple in the groin for possible breast reconstruction was performed in a patient. Carcinoma developed in the transplanted nipple. Careful pathological examination of the breast tissue from the site of excised nipple should be carried out. In patients showing presence of tumor cells at that site, nipple transplantation may be deleterious.Keywords
