Published: April 2004

We herein report a case of axillary localization of supernumerary breast. It is a matter of axillary bilateral masses mistaken as lipoma at clinical examination and ultrasonography. We here explain this confusion between lipoma and supernumerary breast. The aim of this work is to specify clinical characters of an axillary mass that must lead to suspect a supernumerary breast.

Background: Breast milk has significant benefits for preterm babies, but 'very preterm' babies are unable to feed directly from the breast at birth. Their mothers have to initiate and sustain lactation through expressing milk for tube feeding until their babies are developmentally ready to feed orally. There are wide disparities between neonatal units in England in rates of breast milk feeding at discharge.

Supernumerary teats (SNTs) or nipples often emerge around the mammary line. This study performed a genome-wide selective sweep analysis (GWS) at the copy number variant (CNV) level using two selected signal calculation methods ( and ) to identify candidate genes associated with SNTs in goats. A total of 12,310 CNVs were identified from 37 animals and 123 CNVs, with the top 1% values including 84 candidate genes (CDGs).

Extranodal intraductal papilloma of the unilateral axillary supernumerary breast is a rare and unusual medical condition. This condition involves the development of a benign tumor, known as a papilloma, in the ducts of supernumerary breast tissue found in the axilla. We report a rare case of extranodal papilloma of an extranodal intraductal papilloma of a unilateral axillary supernumerary breast in a 70-year-old woman, who presented with a right axillary mass.
