“…Moreover a detailed histology examination of the lesion is not possible in order to rule out the malignancy. On the other hand there is no evidence that the malignancy is more frequent in accessory breast tissue (16).…”

“…A part of the authors consider the accessory breast to be a benign lesion taking in account that carcinoma to such tissue is very rare (0.3% of all breast cancers) (16). Being a less invasive method, the liposuction of the auxiliary tissueis considereda better cosmetic option with better aesthetic results for these authors.…”

“…Being a less invasive method, the liposuction of the auxiliary tissueis considereda better cosmetic option with better aesthetic results for these authors. Unfortunately this procedure can never guarantee a completely excision of the breast tissue even if it is ultrasound-guided therefore closed follow-up is requested (16,20). Moreover a detailed histology examination of the lesion is not possible in order to rule out the malignancy.…”

Rezumat Åesut mamar accesor axilar bilateral evidenåiat de sarcinãIlustrãm cazul rar al unei paciente de 28 ani ce s-a prezentat cu douã formaåiuni tumorale axilare bilateral ce au apãrut în timpul sarcinii, crescând apoi progresiv în dimensiuni. Examenul local a evidenåiat douã formaåiuni de 5/3/5 cm fiecare cu caracteristici clinice de benignitate, dezvoltate la nivelul extensiei axilare a glandei mamare. În timpul lactaåiei, un lichid similar laptelui s-a evacuat printr-un mamelon rudimetar, maroniu, localizat în centrul fiecãrei formaåiuni. La 1 an de la naaetere, rezonanåa magneticã nuclearã e evidenåiat la nivelul celor douã mase tumoraleåesut mamar accesor cu acelaaei semnal ca aei glanda eutopicã de care se delimiteazã. Din motive estetice aei din cauza riscului de a dezvolta tumori benigne sau maligne, åesutul mamar ectopic a fost excizat chirurgical. Examenul histologic a evidenåiat åesut mamar glandular normal.Cuvinte cheie: åesut mamar accesor, polimastie, axilã, sarcinã Abstract We illustrate a rare case of a 28 year-old woman with bilateral axillary masses, which were uncovered during her first pregnancy only and grew progresively in size ever since. On local examination, there were two 5/3/5 cm masses with benign clinical characteristics, developed apparently on the axillary extension of the mammary gland. During lactation, a milk-like liquid was evacuated through a brownish, rudimentary, nipple located in the center of each axillary masses. One year after parturition, the MRI showed bilateral axillary breast tissue appearance, separated from the eutopic mammary gland, but having similar signal intensity. Due to aesthetic reasons and the additional risk for subsequent malignant or benign breast disease, the ectopic breast tissues were completely surgically removed. The histology report showed normal glandular breast tissue.
