Abstract
The congenital anomalies of breast, especially the polymastia (supernumerary breast) and polythelia (supernumerary nipple), can have varied presentations, associated renal anomalies, and pathologies arising from them. The axillary polymastia is a variant of ectopic breast tissue (EBT). Ectopic breast tissue can undergo the same physiological and pathological processes as the normally located breast. The incidence of fibroadenoma developing in ectopic breast is reported as a rare entity, the most common being the carcinoma. Here we report a case of fibroadenoma developing in ectopic breast tissue located in axilla.
