Abstract
Patients with ectodermal dysplasia may request breast reconstruction. In addition to abnormalities of other ectodermally derived structures, the breast and nipple-areolar complex may be absent or hypoplastic. Although this group of patients may have concerns with hair, nails, teeth, or even upper limb malformations, this report focuses on reconstruction of the breast anomalies. Four unrelated patients with ectodermal dysplasia who have undergone breast reconstruction are discussed.
