Breast cancer is the most frequent malignant pathology in the female population. Its treatment has progressively evolved in the direction of breast conservation through the development of oncoplastic breast surgery, which consists of conservative management with partial mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. Patients who present breast cancer concomitantly with macromastia, represent a greater challenge in treatment due to the difficulty of generating symmetry with the contralateral breast; they also present specific symptoms related to macromastia that diminishes their quality of life. The objective of this article, is to report the case of a patient with breast cancer and macromastia, who is successfully and simultaneously managed with oncoplastic surgery of the right breast and bilateral reduction mammoplasty, obtaining adequate oncological control and significant improvement in her quality of life measured by BREAST-Q questionnaire. MÉD.UIS.2021;34(3): 93-101.
