AN UNCOMMON UROLOGIC PRESENTATION OF A SUPERNUMERARY BREAST

Polythelia and polymastia are common developmental abnormalities of th e breast and nipple which usually present as small lesions along the m ammary line, an embryologic line that extends bilaterally from the axi llary regions to the inguinal ligaments. These lesions have been repor ted in various locations outside the mammary line. We report an unusua l location of polymastia in the perineum of a newborn male. A brief di scussion of the clinical relevance of such lesions is also included. ( C) 1997, Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
