| Abstract: | The embryological milk line extends from the medial thigh to the axillae and includes the vulva. Ectopic breast tissue can be found along this ridge, with an incidence of approximately 1% in the general population. Although ectopic breast tissue responds to the same physiological and pathologic processes as the mammary glands, the development of a mammary gland carcinoma in these tissues is an extremely rare event. Slightly more than 25 cases of mammary gland carcinoma of the vulva have been reported in the literature. Most cases present with aggressive tumors.These tumors should be treated as primary breast cancer, and adjuvant treatment can include chemotherapy, radiation, and hormonal therapy.We present a short literature review and discuss the clinical presentation, pathological findings, and adjuvant treatment. |
