“…Sonography reveals a mass like abnormality and echogenic density that corresponds to that of the normal breast parenchyma. The differential diagnoses of an axillary mass are lipoma, lymphadenopathy or lymphadenitis, epidermal cyst, vascular malformation, fibroadenomas, schwannomas and malignancy [12].…”

“…Unfortunately, in some cases, patients are discovering the accessory breast tissues because of a malign tumor that appears at this level. This seems to have a worse prognosis than normal breast carcinoma exactly because of the delayed diagnosis of this disease (14).…”

“…Any structural abnormality should be histologically defined through fine needle aspiration orcore-biopsy although false positive or false negative results can be encountered (2,14,18,19). Considering the patient's age and due to breast modifications induced by pregnancy, we chose the non-invasive diagnostic through US exam and the MRI for a more accurate evaluation of the structures and for delimitation of the masses from the pectoral breasts.…”

Rezumat Åesut mamar accesor axilar bilateral evidenåiat de sarcinãIlustrãm cazul rar al unei paciente de 28 ani ce s-a prezentat cu douã formaåiuni tumorale axilare bilateral ce au apãrut în timpul sarcinii, crescând apoi progresiv în dimensiuni. Examenul local a evidenåiat douã formaåiuni de 5/3/5 cm fiecare cu caracteristici clinice de benignitate, dezvoltate la nivelul extensiei axilare a glandei mamare. În timpul lactaåiei, un lichid similar laptelui s-a evacuat printr-un mamelon rudimetar, maroniu, localizat în centrul fiecãrei formaåiuni. La 1 an de la naaetere, rezonanåa magneticã nuclearã e evidenåiat la nivelul celor douã mase tumoraleåesut mamar accesor cu acelaaei semnal ca aei glanda eutopicã de care se delimiteazã. Din motive estetice aei din cauza riscului de a dezvolta tumori benigne sau maligne, åesutul mamar ectopic a fost excizat chirurgical. Examenul histologic a evidenåiat åesut mamar glandular normal.Cuvinte cheie: åesut mamar accesor, polimastie, axilã, sarcinã Abstract We illustrate a rare case of a 28 year-old woman with bilateral axillary masses, which were uncovered during her first pregnancy only and grew progresively in size ever since. On local examination, there were two 5/3/5 cm masses with benign clinical characteristics, developed apparently on the axillary extension of the mammary gland. During lactation, a milk-like liquid was evacuated through a brownish, rudimentary, nipple located in the center of each axillary masses. One year after parturition, the MRI showed bilateral axillary breast tissue appearance, separated from the eutopic mammary gland, but having similar signal intensity. Due to aesthetic reasons and the additional risk for subsequent malignant or benign breast disease, the ectopic breast tissues were completely surgically removed. The histology report showed normal glandular breast tissue.

“…The disease follows similar prognostic indices as those of anatomic breast carcinoma (20). Certain authors have reported that carcinoma of accessory breast tissue may metastasize to the lymph nodes earlier and more frequently compared with anatomic breast carcinoma, since it usually occurs under the axilla or in the inguinal region, where there is an abundance of lymph nodes and capillaries (19,21).…”

Abstract. Male accessory breast cancer is an extremely rare tumor. Several risk factors have been identified, including genetic and hormonal abnormalities. Accessory breast carcinoma usually occurs under the axilla or in the inguinal region. Clinical diagnosis is frequently delayed due to the general lack of awareness among physicians and patients. In the present study, the case of a 63-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with accessory breast cancer at a local advanced stage was reported. However, the patient was successfully treated with endocrine therapy.
