“…It is worth mentioning that surgery is not devoid of morbidity. In a series of 28 patients undergoing surgical removal of axillary accessory breast tissue, there were complications in 39.3% of cases, including seroma, poor wound healing, incomplete excision of accessory tissue, intercostobrachial nerve injury and infection 20 . Considering these aspects and maintaining close follow-up care, conservative treatment was chosen after discussion with the patient.…”

RESUMOApresentamos um caso raro de múltiplos fibroadenomas envolvendo as mamas e a mama acessória axilar. À luz do conhecimento atual, a conduta mais adequada é discutida. Uma mulher de 37 anos foi encaminhada ao Serviço de Mastologia em função da queixa de nódulo em mama acessória axilar direita. No exame físico, não havia nódulos palpáveis nas mamas. Observou-se mama acessória axilar bilateral com nódulo à direita e sem alterações à esquerda. Mamografia e ultrassonografia demonstraram múltiplos nódulos de mama bilateral com características benignas e um nódulo suspeito de malignidade na axila direita. A paciente submeteu-se à punção aspirativa com agulha fina guiada por ultrassonografia do maior nódulo de cada mama e do nódulo na mama acessória axilar direita. Citologicamente, todos os nódulos apresentaram características benignas. Formulou-se a hipótese diagnóstica Trabalho realizado no Serviço de Mastologia, Hospital Materno Infantil -Goiânia (GO), Brasil. 70Conde DM, Morais LC, Pacheco CF, Ferreira RB, Silva EPS, Fonseca PSP, Pinto SA de fibroadenoma. Paciente submeteu-se à remoção cirúrgica do nódulo na axila direita. O exame histopatológico demonstrou fibroadenoma. Decidiu-se por uma conduta conservadora para as mamas acessórias axilares e múltiplos fibroadenomas mamários. Após 11 meses de seguimento, não houve recidiva do nódulo na axila direita nem alterações dos fibroadenomas. A conduta conservadora na mama acessória axilar é possível, porém o tecido mamário acessório pode ser afetado por neoplasia. Nos casos suspeitos de malignidade, a investigação deve ser conduzida com os mesmos recursos propedêuticos utilizados nas mamas normalmente posicionadas. Na presença de múltiplos fibroadenomas nas mamas, a conduta conservadora pode ser adotada com segurança.
