Abstract
- Supernumerary nipple is a developmental anomaly that occurs along the course of the embryological milk lines. The prevalence appears to be higher in women and a wide range of congenital and hereditary anomalies have been described in association with supernumerary nipple, including cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, skeletal and neurologic anomalies, and especially renal and urinary tract anomalies. However, there has been no report of supernumerary nipple with renal anomalies in the Korean dermatologic literature. Herein, we report on an interesting case of a supernumerary nipple with unilateral renal agenesis in a 15-year old man.
