Abstract

Accessory breast tissue is uncommon condition which occurs in 0.4 - 6% of women. The diagnosis of ectopic breast tissue (EBT) is important as it can undergo the same pathological changes that occur in a normal breast such as mastitis, fibrocystic disease and carcinoma. I present a case of a large right-sided accessory breast in a 38 year old woman. Histopathological examination confirmed the breast tissue.
