Abstract EN

Gynecomastia-like hyperplasia of orthotopic female breast tissue is a rare entity.

We present the singularly unique case of a 22-year-old female who presented with a small axillary mass subsequently discovered to be a discrete deposit of ectopic breast tissue with gynecomastia-like hyperplasia.

This case highlights the etiology, variable presentation, and evaluation of ectopic breast tissue.
