Abstract

We present a case of polymastia in a girl of 17 years old who was found to have a supernumerary breast after surgical exploration of an axillary mass revealed the presence of a supernumerary breast on histological examination. The patient was diagnosed with polymastia as a result of the presence of a supernumerary breast. Polymastia was determined to be the patient's condition when it was discovered that the individual had a supernumerary breast. The authors make use of this finding in addition to an investigation into the relevant literature in order to explore the factors that contribute to the development of polymastia in addition to the management strategies that are available. They do this by discussing the many ways in which polymastia may be treated.
