The presence of accessory breast tissue such as extra nipples (polythelia) and extra breast (polymastia) is relatively common, with a high incidence of being misdiagnosed in clinical medicine. Although polythelia is congenital in origin and is identifiable at childhood, polymastia may not be evident until the influence of sex hormones during puberty. In this article, we present a review of the literature concerning the historical background of accessory breasts, their incidence, their misdiagnoses, and their association with other syndromes and diseases. Finally, we present the common treatment options available today for such conditions.
副乳腺组织的存在，如额外乳头（多乳头症）和额外乳房（多乳房症）相对常见，在临床医学中误诊率较高。虽然多乳头症起源于先天性，在儿童期即可识别，但多乳房症可能直到青春期性激素的影响才会显现。在本文中，我们对有关副乳腺的历史背景、发病率、误诊情况以及它们与其他综合征和疾病的关联的文献进行了综述。最后，我们介绍了目前针对此类病症的常见治疗选择。
