Abstract EN

Mammary-like glands (MLG) are considered to be a normal constituent of the anogenital region and can give rise to tumors with variable morphology that may be difficult to classify.

We present a case of an anogenital mammary-like gland tumor in a breastfeeding woman showing morphological variation with lactational change, an unusual finding.

We discuss the differing terminology used to report these tumors and the variation in assignment of their origin to MLG or ectopic breast tissue.
