Breast Carcinoma from Accessory Breast Tissue: A case report and Review of literature

Abstract

Primary carcinoma of ectopic breast tissue has been reported only in a small number of cases. Awareness of physicians and patients about these unsuspicious masses is lacking, clinical diagnosis of accessory breast carcinoma is frequently delayed. Therefore, a mass should be examined carefully, and any suspicious lesions should be evaluated. In the present paper, we present the case report of a 35 year old male patient who reported with a large mass in the axilla and was diagnosed infiltrating duct carcinoma of the breast.
