Intraareolar polythelia: a rare anomaly.
Polythelia, the presence of supernumerary nipples or nipple-areola complexes, is the most common anomaly of the pediatric breast. Although polythelia is common, intraareolar polythelia (nipple dichotomy) is an extremely rare congenital malformation. Surgical treatment is performed as a prophylaxis against breast cancer which has a higher prevalence in polythelia or polymastia. We describe a case of a young woman with polythelia in the right breast. The patient was a 25-year-old young woman who had two nipples by birth on the areola of the right breast. An abdominal ultrasound examination showed no urorenal malformations. Surgery was performed with elliptical excision under local anesthesia. A management of such cases with polythelia or polymastia was discussed in the view of recent literature.
