Background: Breast reconstruction with an autologous lower dermal sling (ALDS) is an established one-stage procedure in patients with moderate to large ptotic breasts. However, this technique is difficult to perform in small and non/minimally ptotic breasts. We describe our experiences from a single institution about a novel Advanced Autologous Lower Dermal Sling (A-ALDS) technique for reconstruction in small breasts. Methods: We performed one stage nipple/skin sparing mastectomies in 61 patients with immediate reconstruction either by conventional immediate breast reconstruction surgery or A-ALDS technique. Results: Mean age of study patients was 46.9 years. We observed significantly better cosmetic score and lower immediate complication rate vis-a-vis skin necrosis, implant loss with the A-ALDS technique (i.e., nil versus 3 in Conventional Immediate Breast Reconstruction Surgery -IBRS). 40 patients completed 12 months follow-up. The PROMs- Patient Reported Outcomes Measures (Breast-Q) revealed good to excellent scores for satisfaction with breast, cosmetic outcome and psychosocial well-being in patients operated with both these techniques. However, sexual well-being was significantly better in the A-ALDS group. Conclusion: The A-ALDS is a novel, cost-effective and safe technique for immediate one stage implant-based reconstruction for small breasts. It provides a dermal barrier flap and hence, ensures less complications, excellent cosmetic results and patient satisfaction.

Odontogenic myxofibroma is a rare, benign, but locally aggressive neoplasm found exclusively in the jaws. It has a predilection to occurs in the 2nd–3rd decade. The lesion often grows without symptoms and presents as a painless swelling. Most common clinical variant is associated with the impacted tooth and shows local invasion. The surgical treatment of these tumors consists of complete enucleation or radical excision. 15th year old girl with a slow growing, painless swelling in the left mandibular region since 2 years. Results of a radiological examination revealed a multilocular radiolucency extending from first molar up to coronoid process with impacted 3rd molar. Biopsy was done, and the histopathological examination showed a myxofibroma. Hemimandibulectomy was done and the tumor mass was resected along with it. Then the mandibular was reconstructed with AO plate. In this case hemimandibulectomy was done due to high rate of recurrence, surgical treatment through bone resection is the most indicated treatment modality and the patient must be followed‑up closely for years. AO Plate for mandibular reconstruction was considered because it was safe, rapid, easy and tissue tolerance is good. The neoplasm diagnosed on the basis of radiographic imaging modalities and histopathological examination.
