In this paper, we reviewed the three‐dimensional interplay between tumour and surgical specimen dimensions in patients undergoing oncoplastic breast surgery compared to simple wide local excision. The relationship between tumour and specimen medio‐lateral, supero‐inferior and antero‐posterior dimensions were explored in both groups. Despite larger tumour dimensions, oncoplastic surgery is not inferior to wide local excision in providing clear surgical margins.
