According to the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS), most of these patients had BI-RADS-2 and BIRADS-1 findings (41.21% and 40%, respectively). Fibrocystic changes were the most common lesions (81.3%). Sixty-eight patients (9.6%) had normal breast tissue on the right side and 34 patients (4.8%) had the same on the left side. Five patients (0.71%) had atypical ductal hyperplasia and no atypical lobular carcinoma. Four patients (0.56%) had occult breast cancer and one patient (0.14%) had benign phyllodes tumor.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>RM is a good opportunity to detect proliferative lesions and occult breast cancer. While meeting the patient\u2019s aesthetic desires, the plastic surgeon should consider for histopathological evaluation. We suggest that every part of the breast tissue should be sent to pathological examination regardless of the weight of the specimen. Even if health insurance does not cover its cost, patients should be informed about the importance of this process.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Level of Evidence: 4<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p\/>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/asj\/sjy295","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,29]],"date-time":"2018-10-29T06:50:35Z","timestamp":1540795835000},"page":"NP178-NP184","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Is Histological Evaluation of Reduction Mammaplasty Specimens Worthwhile?"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Cenk","family":"Demirdover","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5447-1591","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alper","family":"Geyik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haluk","family":"Vayvada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adnan","family":"Menderes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023011006502783700_CIT0001"},{"issue":"6","key":"2023011006502783700_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"335","DOI":"10.1080\/02844310410034295","article-title":"Quality of life after reduction mammaplasty","volume":"38","author":"Freire","year":"2004","journal-title":"Scand J Plast Reconstr Surg Hand Surg."},{"key":"2023011006502783700_CIT0003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1025","DOI":"10.1097\/01.PRS.0000154212.10845.54","article-title":"Prospective study of outcomes after reduction mammoplasty","volume":"115","author":"Miller","year":"2005","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"issue":"1","key":"2023011006502783700_CIT0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.3322\/canjclin.50.1.7","article-title":"Cancer statistics, 2000","volume":"50","author":"Greenlee","year":"2000","journal-title":"CA Cancer J Clin."},{"issue":"2","key":"2023011006502783700_CIT0005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"69","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.20107","article-title":"Global cancer statistics","volume":"61","author":"Jemal","year":"2011","journal-title":"CA Cancer J Clin."},{"issue":"6","key":"2023011006502783700_CIT0006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1682","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-199905000-00016","article-title":"Breast cancer found at the time of breast reduction","volume":"103","author":"Tang","year":"1999","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg."},{"issue":"3","key":"2023011006502783700_CIT0007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"788","DOI":"10.1038\/bjc.2013.708","article-title":"Breast lesions in reduction mammaplasty specimens: a histopathological pattern in 534 patients","volume":"110","author":"Tadler","year":"2014","journal-title":"Br J Cancer."},{"key":"2023011006502783700_CIT0008","volume-title":"ACR BIRADS Atlas, Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System","author":"D\u2019Orsi","year":"2013"},{"key":"2023011006502783700_CIT0009","first-page":"264","article-title":"Precancerous breast disease: epidemiologic, pathologic and clinical considerations","volume-title":"Rosen\u2019s Breast Pathology","author":"Hoda","year":"2009","edition":"3rd ed"},{"issue":"7","key":"2023011006502783700_CIT0010","first-page":"878","article-title":"Evaluation of incidence and histolopathological findings of breast lesions in reduction mammoplasty specimens: Uludag University experience","volume":"63","author":"Aytac","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Pak Med Assoc."},{"key":"2023011006502783700_CIT0011","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1105e13","DOI":"10.1007\/s00266-012-9919-9","article-title":"Should we be analysing breast reduction specimens?
