Abstract

Polymastia the presence of supernumerary breast tissue is rare and may be found in 2- 6% of woman. Axillary breast tissue is a common variant of supernumerary breast tissue and is commonly bilateral and often associated with a distinct areola and nipple. This tissue tends to become symptomatic and noticeable during pregnancy due to hormonal stimulation. Here we report a case of axillary breast tissue, that became symptomatic in a post caesarian case due to engorgement and responded well to conservative treatment.
