| Popis: | The presence of a supernumerary nipple inside the original areola is a rare condition termed intra-areolar polythelia. Rarely, a lesion can macroscopically resemble a nipple. We report a case of a solitary neurofibroma (by itself rare in the areola) mimicking a second, twin nipple. In this case, these 2 rare conditions merge resulting in pseudopolythelia. The relevant literature on polythelia and neurofibromas of the breast is briefly reviewed. |
