The short and ultrashort-pedicle deep inferior epigastic artery perforator flap in breast reconstruction. Plastic & reconstructive surgery, Feb 2012, Vol. 129(2), p. 331-340.

Breast reconstruction using the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is becoming more common and can help reduce donor site morbidity. The authors proposed that dissection of the deep inferior epigastric artery (DIEA) and vein (DIEV) to their external iliac source may not be required for safe flap transfer.

False-Positive lesions mimicking breast cancer on FDG PET and PET/CT
False-Positive lesions mimicking breast cancer on FDG PET and PET/CT. AJR, March 2012, Vol. 198(3), p. W304-314.

Incidental 18F-FDG-avid breast lesions are commonly encountered in patients with cancer who undergo staging PET/CT. This pictorial essay discusses breast lesions that show increased FDG activity, mimicking breast cancer, with biopsy-confirmed benign diagnosis.

The relationship of mammographic density and age
The relationship of mammographic density and age: Implications for breast cancer. AJR, March 2012, Vol. 198(3), p. W292-295.

Breast density is increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor for the development of breast cancer, because it has been shown to be associated with a four- to sixfold increase in a woman’s risk of malignant breast disease. Increased breast density as identified on mammography is also known to decrease the diagnostic sensitivity of the examination, which is of great concern to women at increased risk for breast cancer.

Additional benefits of reduction mammoplasty
Additional benefits of reduction mammoplasty: A systematic review of the literature. Plastic & reconstructive surgery, March 2012, Vol. 129(3), p. 562-570.
Singh, K.A. and Losken, A.
http://journals.lww.com/plasreconsurg/Fulltext/2012/03000/Additional_Benefits_of_Reduction_Mammaplasty___A.2.aspx
Reduction mammaplasty is commonly described with regard to its qualitative benefits. The authors sought to perform a systematic review of the literature focusing on functional outcomes after reduction mammaplasty with regard to physical and psychological symptom improvement, including weight-related effects, exercise, and eating behaviors, in addition to aesthetic outcomes.
