Ectopic breast tissue presents as solitary or multiple masses in young women along the milk line. The most common site is in the axilla. This may present a diagnostic problem as lymphadenopathy, either primary or secondary, or other soft tissue tumors that may present in a similar way. Six patients with eight axillary masses suspicious for ectopic breast tissue were evaluated with fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology. Five aspirates revealed epithelial cells consistent with breast tissue; one showed adipose tissue; and two were non-diagnostic. This information helped prevent surgery in one pregnant and one lactating woman. Therefore, FNA examination is helpful in the diagnosis of management of ectopic breast tissue.
异位乳腺组织在年轻女性的乳线上表现为单个或多个肿块。最常见的部位是腋窝。这可能会带来诊断难题，因为无论是原发性还是继发性的淋巴结病，或者其他可能以类似方式出现的软组织肿瘤，都可能与之相似。对6例有8个腋窝肿块疑似异位乳腺组织的患者进行了细针穿刺抽吸（FNA）细胞学检查。5例抽吸物显示上皮细胞与乳腺组织一致；1例显示脂肪组织；2例未得出诊断结果。这些信息帮助1名孕妇和1名哺乳期妇女避免了手术。因此，FNA检查有助于异位乳腺组织的诊断和处理。
