Fibroadenoma is a benign tumor commonly arising in breast tissue but is rarely reported in accessory breast tissue. (1) Case report This case report presents a 22-year-old female with a fibroadenoma in a right axillary accessory breast. The diagnosis was accomplished through clinical examination that revealed an accessory breast that contains a lump, ultrasound imaging supported the diagnosis and surgical excision was successfully performed. Discussion Accessory breast tissue arises due to incomplete regression of the embryonic mammary ridge. It may remain asymptomatic or present with cyclical changes, pain, or a palpable mass. Fibroadenomas are rare in accessory breast tissue and pose diagnostic challenges due to their unusual location. Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Introduction Accessory breast tissue occurs in approximately 1–6% of the population and is most commonly located along the “milk line,” which extends from the axilla to the groin. ( 1 ) Fibroadenomas in accessory breast tissue are very rare. Patients may present with a mass, discomfort, or cosmetic concerns. This report highlights the importance of recognising accessory breast conditions and differentiating benign from malignant lesions. Case Presentation A 23-year-old female presented with a painless, gradually increasing mass in the right axillary region for the past 3 years. She had no history of trauma, infection, nipple discharge, or constitutional symptoms. Her medical and family history were unremarkable. Clinical Examination : Accessory breast in the right axilla Within it A firm, well-circumscribed, wider mobile mass approximately 3 × 2 cm. The overlying skin was normal . No palpable lymphadenopathy in the axillary or supraclavicular regions bilaterally and normal left breast and left axillary examination. Figure 1 Investigations Ultrasound of the right axillary mass revealed a well-defined hypoechoic lesion with smooth margins, in an accessory right breast consistent with a fibroadenoma. Figure 2 Management Surgical excision was performed under general anaesthesia. An elliptical incision was made on the accessory breast, and the mass along with the accessory breast tissue and excess skin, was excised. The procedure was performed as a day surgery and was uneventful. Figure 3 and Fig. 4 Postoperative Course The patient recovered well, with no complications. Follow-up at 2 weeks showed no residual symptoms and healed wound. Figure 4 Postoperative histopathology confirmed fibroadenoma within accessory breast tissue. Figure 5 Discussion Accessory breast tissue arises due to incomplete regression of the embryonic mammary ridge. ( 1 ) It may remain asymptomatic or present with cyclical changes, pain, or a palpable mass. Fibroadenomas are rare in accessory breast tissue and pose diagnostic challenges due to their unusual location. ( 1 , 2 ) Imaging, particularly ultrasound, aids in identifying benign lesions, and FNAC or core needle biopsy provides cytological confirmation. Complete excision is curative, with histopathology ensuring the exclusion of malignancy. ( 6 ) This case showed the importance of recognizing accessory breast tissue anomalies and distinguishing fibroadenomas from other pathologies such as lipomas, lymphadenopathy, or malignant lesions. ( 7 ) Conclusion Fibroadenomas in accessory breast tissue are rare but should be considered in young females presenting with axillary masses. Surgical excision provides symptom relief, cosmetic satisfaction, and histological confirmation. ( 4 , 5 ) Early diagnosis and management are crucial to avoid complications and ensure optimal patient outcomes.
