Abstract
A case of lactation apparently from axillary supernumerary breast tiss ue was observed in a lactating woman. The tissue showed histologic fea tures typical of both normal glands of lactation and apocrine sweat gl ands, and the fluid showed evidence of milk production. The supernumer ary breast tissue was not associated with a nipple. Renal and skeletal anomalies were also noted.
