Abstract
The tuberous breast is a denomination not easy to define because it is difficult give a single, clear, and simple definition. When we talk about tuberous breasts we enter into a vast realm of different definitions, anatomical characteristics, and correction techniques. Among the numerous definitions used to describe these malformations are tuberous breast, tubular breast, hypoplasia of the inferior pole, constricted inferior pole, snoopy breast, domed nipple, and intra-areolar herniation [1].
