Ectopic Breast

Previously ectopic breast tissue was thought to be derived from the caudal remnants of the primitive embryonic milk ridges; anogenital mammary-like glands are presently considered as normal constituents of the anogenital region. We report a case of young female, who presented with an anal papilloma. Histopathological examination revealed extensive fibrocystic changes in anogenital mammary-like glands. To date, a lot of benign changes and a wide range of benign and malignant neoplasms have been reported in these glands. However, extensive fibrocystic change of these glands in anal region is very rare. In addition, fibrocystic disease of anal mammary glands, masquerading clinically as an anal papilloma, has not been reported in literature. Hence, it is essential for clinicians and the pathologists to be aware of such a rare presentation. The features of fibrocystic disease in perianal region are also discussed.

AbstractAccessory breast tissue is rare accounting to less than 1% cases seen in females. It is usually bilateral. We report a case of 24-year-old woman with a lump in the left axilla in view of its rarity and made a differential diagnosis of fibroadenoma, which following the investigations and histopathological report was confirmed as revealed fibroadenoma in the axilla. It should also be considered as a differential diagnosis for all axillary swellings.

Ectopic Breast

Introduction. Accessory breast is a congenital anomaly where ectopic breast tissue is found at any place other than the normal location. It is an extra tissue or a fully developed breast with a nipple. The incidence of this malformation is 0.4-6%. It is believed that this congenital malformation is associated with incomplete regression of the primitive milk streak during embryonic development. The diagnosis and treatment of accessory breasts is very important, because an ectopic breast tissue can undergo various pathological changes, as well as the normal breast tissue. Case Report. The authors present a 45-year-old female patient who was referred to a surgeon by a general practitioner with a diagnosis of lipomas in both axillary regions. After clinical examination and additional imaging diagnostic procedures (ultrasound and mammography) accessory breasts were suspected. The patient underwent surgery and the accessory tissue was resected. The histopathological examination confirmed the clinical diagnosis of ectopic breasts without any pathological processes. Conclusion. Accessory breast is a rare congenital malformation and its early diagnosis and surgical removal should prevent development of different pathological processes, including breast cancer.

Mammary-like glands (MLG) are considered to be a normal constituent of the anogenital region and can give rise to tumors with variable morphology that may be difficult to classify. We present a case of an anogenital mammary-like gland tumor in a breastfeeding woman showing morphological variation with lactational change, an unusual finding. We discuss the differing terminology used to report these tumors and the variation in assignment of their origin to MLG or ectopic breast tissue.

Ectopic Breast

Ectopic breast tissue (EBT) develops as the result of the incomplete embryologic regression of the mammary ridge, which extends bilaterally from the anterior axilla folds to the inguinal folds in the fifth and sixth weeks of gestation. EBT is encountered in 0.3%–6% of women and 1%–3% of men and can be found anywhere along the milk line. It is subject to the same pathologic changes that affect the orthotopic breast. Primary carcinoma arising on the ectopic breast (PEBC) is a very rare occurrence accounting for 0.3%–0.6% of all breast cancers and is most frequently found in the axilla. Due to the rarity and atypical presentation of the disease, the diagnosis is often delayed. We herein present a very rare case of PEBC in the axilla along with a review of the literature. Any subcutaneous hypoechoic nodule located along the milk line without evidence of inflammation should raise concern for ectopic breast carcinoma. Accurate staging and differential diagnosis with detailed immunohistochemical analysis are required. No specific guidelines on diagnosis and treatment are available and the tumor is treated similarly to the orthotopic breast cancer of a similar stage. Physicians should be aware of this rare entity to avoid treatment delays.

Background: Phyllodes tumours are rare fibroepithelial lesion, which accounts for less than 1% of all breast neoplasm. However, Phyllodes tumours arising from ectopic breast tissue are even rarer, with less than 15 cases ever reported involving the axilla, vulva, and groin. Case Presentation: A 27-year-old lady presented to the surgical clinic with left axillary swelling measuring 5cm x 6cm. Ultrasound of the axilla revealed heterogenous homogenous mass displacing the left axillary artery and vein medially. Excision was performed, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a benign Phyllodes tumour. Conclusion: Phyllodes tumour in ectopic breast tissue over the axilla is a rare occurrence, and our case is the fourth case ever reported. Despite its rarity, diagnosis and treatment modalities are similar to Phyllodes tumour of the breast. Regular follow-up is recommended due to the risk of local recurrence.

Gynecomastia-like hyperplasia of orthotopic female breast tissue is a rare entity. We present the singularly unique case of a 22-year-old female who presented with a small axillary mass subsequently discovered to be a discrete deposit of ectopic breast tissue with gynecomastia-like hyperplasia. This case highlights the etiology, variable presentation, and evaluation of ectopic breast tissue.

Abstract Introduction/Objective Ectopic breast tissue (EBT) is a well-documented anomaly of the breast and commonly presents along the embryonic milk line extending between the axilla and groin. Reported incidence of accessory breast is 0.4–6% in females. Pathologies developing in an EBT are reported as a rare entity in the literature. Carcinoma is reported as the common pathology followed by inflammation and fibroadenoma Methods We present a case of 43-year- old female who presented with a painless mass in her right groin for the past year which gradually increased in size. CT abdomen pelvis with contrast showed a 2.2 x 3.0 x 4.4 cm superficial soft tissue mass in the right groin which was suspected to be a lymph node. Further investigation and histopathological report of biopsy showed ectopic breast tissue with admixed chronic inflammation and reactive changes.However, excision of the mass three months later showed showed proloferation of both glandular and stromal elements. Results The tissue from the biopsy was positive for GATA 3, mammoglobin, GCDFP and CD 10 and the histological features on excision was confirmatory of fibroadenoma. Conclusion In conclusion, when tumors or nodules are found along the mammary line, the presence of breast tissue should be considered during the investigation. It is clinically wise to evaluate and screen carefully cases of supernumerary breast for any pathology and for any associated urogenital anomalies such as supernumerary kidneys, polycystic kidneys and renal cell adenocaricnoma. In our case, patient had no associated urogenital anomalies and she is on follow up.
