Fibroadenoma of Ectopic Breast Tissue in Chest Wall: Review of the Literature and Report of a Rare Case

Abstract

Ectopic breast tissue fibroadenoma is a rare illness.Along the milk line, ectopic breast tissues can be seen.In ectopic breast tissue, malignancy is more common than fibroadenoma. Ectopic breast tissue with or without a nipple areola complex can be found.We present a case of a 20-year-old woman who had an ectopic breast tissue fibroadenoma in the anterior chest wall with no nipple areola complex. Excision and biopsy were performed on the patient. The fibroadenoma of the ectopic breast tissue was verified by histopathology.This case was described because of its rarity and to emphasise the need of checking EBT for any abnormalities as part of routine breast screening.
