“…Accessory breast tissue originates from an embryonic mammary ridge which forms during the sixth week of development. The ridge is a bilateral thickening of the ectoderm that runs from the axillae to the inguinal region and rapidly regresses, except for in the thorax [1]. In the case of ectopic breast tissue, this embryonic mammary ridge, also referred to as the milk line, fails to degenerate.…”

Background and Objectives: Axillary tissue hypertrophy consists of ectopic breast tissue and occurs in up to six percent of women. Women complain of pain, interference with activity, and dissatisfaction with appearance. While it is recommended that accessory breast tissue be removed via surgical excision, there is lack of consensus on the best technique for the surgical management of axillary tissue hypertrophy. In this study, the senior authors (BC and NT) review outcomes and complications as they pertain to the surgical treatment of axillary tissue hypertrophy and axillary contouring. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of all patients (n = 35), from two separate institutions, who presented with axillary tissue hypertrophy between December 2019 and August 2021 was conducted. All patients underwent a technique that included direct crescentic dermato-lipectomy and glandular excision with axillary crease obliteration. Tissue was sent for histological analysis after removal. During a six-month follow-up period, all patient outcomes were recorded. Results: The authors treated 35 women with axillary tissue hypertrophy. All patients complained of aesthetic deformity with significant discomfort leading to the desire for surgery. Histologically, all specimens contained benign breast and adipose tissue. Hypertrophic scarring, seroma, and axillary cording were noted complications. Conclusions: Detailed is the surgical management and optimal technique that can be used to treat both adipose and fibroglandular axillary tissue hypertrophy while simultaneously providing a favorable axillary aesthetic.

“…In the fourth week after conception, a pair of epidermal thickenings, the mammary ridges, develop along either side of the body from the area of the future axilla to the future inguinal region and medial thigh [1]. In humans, these mammary ridges normally disappear except at the site of the breasts.…”

Primary Breast Cancer of the Vulva

The occurrence of primary breast cancer of the vulva is extremely rare (24 cases described in the English-language literature). We report a case of a primary breast carcinoma of the vulva. An 82-year-old woman presented with a nodule of the left labia minor, which was excised. The histologic examination revealed the presence of adenocarcinoma of mammary origin, positive for common breast markers and for estrogen and progesterone receptors. The study for orthotopic breast carcinoma was negative, as well as the study for metastatic disease. The diagnosis of primary breast carcinoma was established. Our patient was then submitted to pelvic and inguinal radiotherapy as well as an aromatase inhibitor (letrozole), and she remained completely asymptomatic. Because of the rarity of this condition, guidelines for therapy are unavailable. The management suggested in the literature is that of primary orthotopic breast neoplasm of a similar stage.
