This protocol covers the management of accessory breast tissue in which the axillary presentation consists solely of glandular tissue and/or supernumerary (accessory) nipples — a specific anatomical subset with a defined treatment pathway.
Clinical scenario: The patient presents with axillary accessory breast tissue limited to glandular tissue and/or accessory nipples, without a significant additional adipose component.
In this presentation, a surgical intervention targeting the affected axillary structures is recommended. The complete protocol — including full procedural details, indications, and technique — is available via the link below.
