Abstract:
Supernumerary nipple is a rare developmental anomaly occuring along the course of the embryological mammary lines, usually over the anterior aspect of the chest, axilla, and abdominal wall. We, herein, report a case of supernumerary nipple of the most common type in a 30-year-old woman, which has accessory nipples without aberrant gland tissue.
