We describe two modifications of the original subcutaneous mastectomy, in which we remove the nipple en bloc with the breast, and we believe they are as suitable as other mastectomies for the removal of microcarcinomas and premalignant diseases of the breast. We do not advocate them for macroscopic malignancy. We are using the term "total glandular mastectomy" to designate these two modifications.
