What is Axillary Breast?
Axillary breast, also known as accessory breast or supernumerary breast tissue, is a condition where additional breast tissue develops in the axilla (armpit) area. This extra breast tissue may resemble normal breast tissue and can vary in size and shape.
Symptoms of Axillary Breast
Axillary breast tissue may not cause any symptoms in some individuals. However, it can lead to symptoms such as:
- Visible or palpable mass in the axilla
- Discomfort or pain, especially during menstruation or hormonal changes
- Enlargement or swelling of the axillary area
- Difficulty fitting into clothing or bras
Diagnosis of Axillary Breast
Diagnosis of axillary breast may involve:
- Physical examination: Your healthcare provider will perform a physical examination to assess the size, shape, and characteristics of the axillary mass.
- Imaging studies: Ultrasound or mammography may be used to visualize the axillary breast tissue and evaluate its composition.
Treatment of Axillary Breast
Treatment options for axillary breast may include:
- Observation: In some cases, axillary breast tissue may not require treatment if it is small and not causing symptoms.
- Excision: Surgical removal of the axillary breast tissue may be recommended for cosmetic reasons or if it is causing discomfort or pain.
