Abstract

Ectopic breast abnormalities are common in the population. These anomalies are frequently seen on the imaginary line between the axilla and inguinal region which is called milk line. There are eight anomalies classified according to their possession of structural elements found in mature breast. Although publications describing this anomaly are rare, in the ectopic breast tissue any disease can develop that effects the normal breast. Therefore, it is suggesting that careful investigation of ectopic breast tissue and should excise if needed. In this study, we evaluated a case of bilateral supernumerary breast and including fibroadenoma in it.

Bilateral Ektopik Meme’de Fibroadenom

Abstract

Ektopik meme anomalileri toplumda sık gözlenen bir antitedir. Anomaliler sıklıkla süt hattının herhangi bir yerinde aksilladan inguinal bölgeye kadar olan hayali çizgide saptanmaktadır. Bunlar matür memede bulunan yapısal öğeleri bulundurma kriterlerine göre 8 kategoride sınıflandırılmıştır. Literatürlerde nadir olarak benign ve/veya malign oluşumlar içermesi nedeniyle bu yapılarında matür memeler gibi takip edilmesi ve gerektiğinde eksize edilmesi önerilmektedir. Olgumuzda bilateral ektopik meme ve bu ektopik memelerden birisinde de fibroadenom saptanmasından dolayı sunulmuştur
