RODRIGUEZ PINO, Martha; GUERRóN REVELO, Daniela; CARDENAS RODRIGUEZ, Carlos  e  CONDE CUETO, Taimi. Bilateral Supernumerary Breast. A Case Report. Medisur [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.2, pp. 416-420. ISSN 1727-897X.

Incidence of polymastia in the general population ranges from 0.4 to 6%. Accessory breasts are often considered a purely cosmetic problem; however various benign and malignant alterations may occur in these structures, as in any other breast tissue. A case of a patient who developed a painless mass in both axillary regions during pregnancy is presented. Her family physician interpreted it as lymphadenopathy. During the immediate puerperium, a greater enlargement in the axillary regions and pain, evident on physical examination, were found. Hence, a mammography and ultrasound were performed. Bilateral supernumerary breast and duct ectasia of the left breast were diagnosed.
