Abstract
Ectopic Breast tissue (EBT) is a rare entity. It occurs due to the incomplete regression of the milk line which extends from axilla to groin and occurs commonest in axilla and rarest in vulva.EBT has the potential to turn malignant, thus the condition needs to be followed up including cytology if required. However, rarity of the condition frequently delays the diagnosis which can lead to morbidity and mortality in a patient. There is urgency of formulation of
guidelines for management of such patients which should be addressed.
We report the youngest patient of healthy EBT from the Indian subcontinent in a 25-year-old woman and discuss review of literature.
