Abstract

Ectopic breast tissue may be seen along a diagonal line drawn from axilla to groin and it is rare with only a few reports in the world. There is a relatively frequent occurrence of ectopic breast tissue close to the breast or in the axilla, but the vulvar location is rare. We experienced a case of ectopic breast tissue in the vulva and reported it with brief review of literatures.
