BILATERAL SUPERNUMERARY BREASTS: A CASE REPORT

Authors/Creators

Description

Supernumerary breasts is a rare disorder that affects 0.4-6% of women . It is frequently misdiagnosed and is primarily found in the axilla. It typically manifests as an asymptomatic tumor during pregnancy or lactation and is bilateral. Since ectopic breast tissue can develop the same pathological alterations as a normal breast, including fibrocystic disease, cancer, and mastitis, diagnosing it is crucial. We describe a 36-year-old woman who has bilateral axillary localization of an accessory breast. Bilateral lipoma was the clinical diagnosis, and discomfort was the main complaint. Later imaging and histological analysis, however, demonstrated that it was an accessory breast tissue.
