Abstract

Polymastia is a rare condition that is present in 1 to 5% of the population. Clinically, it is characterized by the presence of two or more breasts, which can occur in males or females. The condition may appear with or without the presence of extra nipples, which is termed polythelia. Bilateral presentation is uncommon. Here we report a case of a patient who had more than one pair of breasts and extra nipples which were surgically corrected.
