Accessory breast is a frequently seen developmental breast abnormality, commoner among Asians than Caucasians. This ectopic breast tissue shares many similarities as the normal breast tissue, and although subjected to the same pathological processes, accessory breast carcinoma is rare. As locations of the accessory breast may be variable, detection of pathological lesions through clinical examinations and standard diagnostic tools (i.e., mammogram) can be difficult. Staging and management should be tailored-made according to the location of the accessory breast as well as its known pattern of lymphatic drainage. We report a case of an intra-ductal carcinoma occurring in an axillary accessory breast.
副乳是一种常见的乳房发育异常，在亚洲人中比白种人更常见。这种异位乳腺组织与正常乳腺组织有许多相似之处，虽然会受到相同的病理过程影响，但副乳癌很少见。由于副乳的位置可能各不相同，通过临床检查和标准诊断工具（即乳房X线照片）检测病理病变可能很困难。分期和治疗应根据副乳的位置及其已知的淋巴引流模式量身定制。我们报告一例发生在腋窝副乳的导管内癌病例。
