A rare presentation of an ectopic breast tissue in axilla
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Surgery - Year 2015, Vol 87, Issue 10
Abstract
Accessory breast tissue is rare accounting to less than 1% cases seen in females. It is usually bilateral. We report a case of 24-year-old woman with a lump in the left axilla in view of its rarity and made a differential diagnosis of fibroadenoma, which following the investigations and histopathological report was confirmed as revealed fibroadenoma in the axilla. It should also be considered as a differential diagnosis for all axillary swellings.
