Summary
Accessory breast carcinoma, though rare, can occur in ectopic breast tissue. This case highlights intra-ductal carcinoma in an axillary accessory breast, emphasizing tailored management for this uncommon condition.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Developmental Biology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Accessory breast tissue, a common congenital anomaly, is more prevalent in Asian populations.
- Ectopic breast tissue mirrors normal breast tissue in structure and susceptibility to pathology, yet accessory breast carcinoma remains infrequent.
- Variable locations of accessory breasts pose diagnostic challenges for clinical examination and standard imaging like mammography.
