“…The axillary localization is the most frequent region [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , and since it is a complex region and contains many anatomical elements, it is therefore necessary to be careful in the investigations to establish the correct diagnosis. It is imperative to differentiate accessory breast from other differential diagnoses, which are divided into congenital, iatrogenic, proliferative as well as infectious.…”

“…AAB are usually asymptomatic [2] , [7] and are hidden in the axillary fossa, so discovery is often incidental [7] ; But as they undergo changes in relation to hormonal changes, especially after adolescence or during pregnancy and lactation, they may present with cyclic pain, hypertrophy, restriction of arm movements and secretions [1] , [2] , [3] , [6] . In 13 % of cases, AAB is found bilaterally [2] .…”

“…In 13 % of cases, AAB is found bilaterally [2] . Lymphatic drainage from AAB is normally to the ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes and then to the supraclavicular lymph nodes [3] , with a possibility of drainage into the contralateral or inguinal axillary lymph nodes [5] .…”

“…The main differential diagnoses include breast cancer of the axillary tail, lymphomas, lymph node metastases, metastatic carcinomas, carcinomas of adnexal origin and benign changes which may include fibroadenomas and phyllodes tumors, but more frequently fibrocystic disease [2] . The development of cancer is extremely rare [2] , [3] , it is found in more than 90 % of cases in the axilla [2] . the most common being ductal carcinoma [2] , [5] .…”

“…Primary accessory breast cancer is an extremely rare disease [2] , accounting for less than 1 % of all breast cancers [3] . There is a lack of studies on cancer of accessory breast tissue due to its rarity, and most of what we found in the literature review are sets of case reports [3] .…”

Accessory or ectopic breast tissue is an anomaly in the development of the breast. It is a rare condition that occurs along the embryological mammary line. In less than 1% of all breast cancers, supernumerary breast cancer is reported, with the axillary location being the most common in 60% to 90% of cases. Cancerous degeneration of this supernumerary breast tissue can pose a dual diagnostic and therapeutic problem. We report the case of locally advanced adenocarcinoma in a right supernumerary breast. This is a 75-year-old, grand-multiparous, postmenopausal, and known hypertensive patient on treatment. Family history was remarkable for brain cancer in her sister and oesophageal cancer in her mother. She consulted for a mass in the right axillary cavity on supernumerary breast evolving for a year. Clinical examination revealed a large, fixed, budding and haemorrhagic-ulcerated mass of the right axilla, with long axis measuring about 15 cm. There was as wella supernumerary breast on the left, but without particularity. A soft tissue ultrasound showed a large hypoechoicmass in the right axillary region of 116 mm with areas of central necrobiosis. Morphologically, the breasts were normal. A breast MRI revealed a subcutaneous mass in the right axillary cavity with skin ulceration and satellite lymphadenopathy. The extension assessment revealed liver metastases, and a biopsy of the mass revealed a breast adenocarcinoma. The case was the subject of a multidisciplinary consultation meeting following which a wide excision of the mass was indicated. The histo-pathology analysis results of the surgical specimen were in favour of a triple negative How to cite this paper:
