Abstract: Ectopic breasts are described as supernumerary and aberrant breast tissue in multiple studies.1,2 The occurrence is reported generally in a range of 0.2%-5.6% depending on various factors including sex,race,ethnic group,and geographical regions.The classification of ectopic breast was first described by Kajava in 1915 as follows:(1) complete breast with nipple,areola,and glandular tissue;(2) supernumerary breast without areola but with nipple and glandular tissue;(3) supernumerary breast without nipple but with areola and glandular tissue;(4) aberrant glandular tissue only;(5) nipple and areola with gland replaced by fat;(6) nipple only;(7) areola only;and (8) patch of hair only.1 In this study we report an interesting case which belongs to item 1 of Kajava Classification.
