Background: Supernumerary breasts result from the persistence of ectopic mammary buds on the path of the primary mammary crest. The thoracic location with presence of glandular tissue remains exceptional. In its management, the surgeon is confronted not only with the aesthetic concern but also with the problem of surveillance given the risk of neoplastic degeneration due to the persistence of the supernumerary breast. It is then a question of determining the moment of the surgery and especially the appropriate operative technique. Presentation of the case: A 14-year-old girl was received for aesthetic gene linked to the presence of two nipples on her left breast. The physical examination revealed an asymmetry of left and right breasts volume. The left breast was classified as class I mammary glands according to KAJAVA classification. The mammogram described two mammary glands juxtaposed 180 and 80cm³ respectively. After performing the preoperative schema, the surgical procedure consisted of a selective mastectomy by complete excision of the lower mammary gland of 80 cm³ with remodeling by sub-mammary detachment over 2 cm of the remaining gland. The postoperative course was simple. Conclusion: Selective mastectomy for thoracic supernumerary breast is a technique of easy realization. The surgeon must find his anatomy to properly choose the preoperative schema. The postoperative result in our case was satisfactory.

“…The surgery depends on the importance of the aesthetic discomfort, the volume of the supernumerary breast and its location. However, Fama et al [6]. recommend early surgical management for class I to IV abnormalities because of the high risk of cancer for these classes.…”

“…Accessory breasts have the potential to undergo both benign and non-benign transformations as normal breast tissue. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Accessory breasts occur along the milk line extending from the axilla to the pubic region. [1][2][3][4][5][6] This line represents the location of the embryonic mammary ridges which involutes except for the two segments located in the pectoral regions which develop into breasts.…”

“…A very rare case was recently reported in a 15-year-old Indian female who had two inter-scapular accessory breasts with two nipples and seven areolae. 1 The incidence of accessory breast is 1-6% of the normal population. 1,3,4 Cases of accessory breasts are usually sporadic but familial presentations associated with urogenital and congenital cardiac abnormalities have been described although the association has been challenged.…”

“…1 The incidence of accessory breast is 1-6% of the normal population. 1,3,4 Cases of accessory breasts are usually sporadic but familial presentations associated with urogenital and congenital cardiac abnormalities have been described although the association has been challenged. 4 Kajava developed the accessory breast classification system in 1915 which is still being used today 3 (Table 1).…”

A 30-year-old female noted a mass in her right axilla for 6 years. The mass was painless, slowly growing, causing discomfort, had cyclical changes in consistency and was of cosmetic concern to the patient. Examination revealed normal breasts and a soft, non-tender, broad based mass in the right axilla. Sonography was non-diagnostic. Diagnostic doubt, cosmetic concern and discomfort to the patient prompted excisional biopsy which revealed a 1 cm fibroadenoma with surrounding breast tissue and a diagnosis of fibroadenoma arising in accessory breast tissue was made. Surgical excision is recommended for symptomatic accessory breast tissue where diagnostic doubt exists and for cosmetic reasons.

Rationale:The accessory breast is residual mammal tissue which does not regress during the embryonic development. The accessory breast is so rare that it is easily ignored in diagnosis of disease.Patient concerns:We report a 29-year-old lactating woman presented with complaints of periclitoral lesions without any pain or discomfort.Diagnoses:Periclitoral accessory breast tissue.Interventions:We performed wide local resection of the lesions. Pathologic examination confirmed the lesions were ectopic breast tissues with secretory changes. The patient was followed up for 3 months and she was totally recovered.Lessons:Accessory breast tissue should be considered as a diagnosis when a mass grow fast on the milk line, especially the masses changes obviously with sex hormones according to the clinical findings.
