Medial confluence of the breasts, known as symmastia, has received little attention in plastic surgery literature. By reporting on one case, we present our surgical technique. The chosen method of the reduction mammoplasty is considered to be particularly important. Liposuction is integrated into the surgical procedure. Suggestions made by other authors are discussed.

We report on a 22-year old patient with an ectopic ureter ending in the vestibulum of the vagina without genital malformations. Generally, the diagnosis of this anomaly will have already been made in childhood, because of enuresis uretica and therapy-resistant vaginal discharge. The methods of diagnosis leading to this anomaly, which is rare at that age, and the therapeutic requirements are shown.

The diagnosis of this malformation in adults is unusual and can be difficult because of untypical signs and symptoms, as represented in the following case report.
