Abstract

Accessory breast tissue or ectopic breast tissue or supernumerary breast tissue is an aberration of normal breast development . It is known to be rare entity which occurs in 0.4 - 6% of women anywhere along the embyologic mammary streak or milk line but more common in axilla.Accessory breast cancer is a rare entity with incidence of around 0.2 - 0.6 % . Routine mammography can miss accessory breast tissue. It is generally bilateral may be unilateral occasionally.General lack of awareness of accessory breast cancer among clinicians has potentially dangerous implications.
