Multidisciplinary Team Care: Adolescent Breast.

Abstract

Poland syndrome, tuberous breast deformity, gynecomastia, and macromastia are among the most common breast disorders affecting adolescents. While the etiology and physical manifestations may differ between each condition, they all may impose psychosocial stress necessitating evaluation and treatment. A multidisciplinary team is essential to providing comprehensive care specific to an adolescent population. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss common adolescent breast deformities necessitating plastic surgeon involvement, and the components of a successful multidisciplinary adolescent breast care team.
