E Hanson, J Segóvia

    Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
    |March 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This case report details an unusual dorsal supernumerary breast, a rare congenital anomaly. Further research into the embryological origins and clinical significance of such accessory breast tissue is warranted.

    Area of Science:

    • Embryology
    • Human Anatomy
    • Medical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Supernumerary breasts, or polymastia, are accessory mammary glands that can occur along the embryonic
    • milk lines. While commonly found ventrally, dorsal presentation is exceptionally rare.
    • Understanding the embryological development of the milk line is crucial for explaining these anomalies.

    Observation:

    • This report presents a unique case of a dorsally located supernumerary breast.
    • The accessory breast tissue was identified in an unusual dorsal position.
    • Clinical and anatomical details of this rare presentation are described.

    Findings:

    • The dorsally placed supernumerary breast represents a rare variation in human anatomy.
    • Literature review indicates a paucity of documented cases of dorsal polymastia.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • This finding highlights the potential for supernumerary breast tissue to develop outside typical locations.

    • Implications:

    • This case contributes to the understanding of accessory breast tissue variations.
    • Further investigation into the genetic and developmental factors underlying dorsal polymastia may be beneficial.
    • Awareness of such rare presentations is important for accurate clinical diagnosis and management.
