Breast conserving therapy is the gold standard treatment of early breast cancer. However, a balance between good cosmetic outcome and limiting the risk of locoregional recurrence remains the key of success. The aim of this work was to evaluate the outcome of partial breast reconstruction using pedicled dermo-glandular flap from the upper outer quadrant, for central quadrantectomy BCS.
