Abstract
Supernumerary breast is an uncommon disease seen in Asian population at an incidence of 2-6 % of general population. The pathology despite being present since birth remains asymptomatic till hormonal stimulation viz. puberty, pregnancy, and lactation. The management for such benign ectopic breast tissue is excision. However, one should always rule out malignancy in such lumps.Entities:
