Supernumerary nipples or breasts are found in 1-5% of the population. A 31-year-old woman presented with an axillary lump which had tenderness during postpartum period. On routine MRI sequences signal intensities similar to normal breast parenchyma but discontinuous with it were demonstrated. It is important to differentiate benign from malignant axillary masses to avoid unnecessary intervention. MRI has been reported to be a valuable tool for the diagnosis of accessory breast tissue especially in the peripubertal–pubertal girls and young patients

Ektopik Aksiller Meme Dokusunun Laktasyonel Dönemde MRG ile Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Popülasyonun %1-5’inde aksesuar meme dokusuna rastlanmaktadır. Otuzbir yașında bir kadın hasta postpartum dönemde ağrılı aksiller kitle ile bașvurdu. Rutin MRG sekanslarında aksillada normal meme parankim dokusu ile benzer özellik gösteren ancak ayrı olarak izlenen sinyal değișiklikleri belirlendi. Aksiller kitlelerde benign durumların malign lezyonlardan ayrılması gereksiz girișimlerden kaçınılması açısından önem tașımaktadır. MRG özellikle peripubertal-pubertal kız çocuklarında ve genç hastalarda aksesuar meme dokusu tanısında değerli bir modalite olarak bildirilmektedir
