Abstract

Résumé
Nous rapportons l’observation d'un cas de localisation axillaire de sein surnuméraire chez une femme âgée 25 ans. Chez qui une masse axillaire droite a été diagnostiquée pour la première fois comme un lipome à examen clinique et échographique. Ce travail explique la possible de confusion entre un sein surnuméraire et un lipome. L’objectif est de préciser les caractéristiques cliniques et échographiques voir mammographiques;une masse axillaire qui orientent vers un sein surnuméraire. Exérèse chirurgicale et étude histologique ont permis de confirmer le diagnostic de sein surnuméraire.

We report the case of a case of axillary localization of supernumerary breast in a 25-year-old woman. In whom a right axillary mass was first diagnosed as a
lipoma on clinical and ultrasound examination. This work explains the possible confusion between a supernumerary breast and a lipoma. The
objective is to specify the clinical and ultrasound or even mammographic characteristics of an axillary mass which point to a supernumerary breast. Surgicalexcision and histological study confirmed the diagnosis of supernumerary breast.
