In women with breast cancer for whom breast-conserving therapy (BCT) is not the best option, a nipple and areola complex-(NAC) sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction has been proposed as a good and safe alternative to conventional, more radical mastectomy. Surgeons hesitate to perform this operation for fear of recurrence of tumour in the NAC due to undetected nipple involvement (NI) of the tumour. In order to determine whether a NAC-sparing mastectomy is a viable option, the frequency and predictive factors of NI by the tumour were studied in the literature.
