Polymazia

Polymazia

Accessory breasts ( Figure 58.22 ) have been recorded in the axilla (the most frequent site), groin, buttock and thigh. They have been known to fluctuate in response to hormones in a physiological manner, such as pubertal enlargement and lactation. They may also show the same spectrum of patho logical diseases observed in normal breasts. Polymazia may be associated with other congenital diseases, such as vertebral anomalies, cardiac arrhythmias or renal anomalies.
