ABSTRACT

Among the anomalies during embryonic development of the breasts we may find supernumerary breasts and aberrant ectopic tissue. In both of them, malignant tumors of the breast can proliferate, mostly in aberrant tissue. We present the case of a female patient aged 73, who refers to have always had a "little mammary gland in the left submammary that never caused discomfort to the last two months when its volume increased and the skin retracted". Excisional biopsy allowed diagnosing an infiltrating ductal carcinoma, the first case of carcinoma grafted in aberrant breast tissue diagnosed in the province.
