Abstract EN

A 15-year-old male presented for evaluation of a volar forearm mass that he noticed four years before.

The mass was not painful and his main concern was cosmesis.

The mass was two centimeters in diameter with a pinpoint central sinus and scant drainage.

After excision, the pathology report noted pilosebaceous units and smooth muscle bundles, consistent with an accessory nipple.

In addition, the patient had another accessory nipple in the “milk line” on his torso.

While accessory nipples and breast tissue have been reported in numerous locations throughout the body, this is the first reported case of an accessory nipple on the forearm.
