Abstract
Although the surgical treatment of breast cancer has become more conservative in the last decades, some patients still arrive at the first physical examination with advanced diseases and with large skin infiltration. We report an unusual case of giant invasive papillary carcinoma of the breast underwent mastectomy and reconstruction with a bipedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap.
