| Abstract;Both accessory breast cancer and fibroadenoma are comparatively rare. Since they often appear in the axillae, we require to differentiate them from other diseases and have great difficulty in diagnosis. We experienced a case of acceessory breast cancer and fibroadenoma in the bilateral axillary accessory mammary glands. A 37-year-old woman was seen at the hospital because of left axillary swelling. On physical examination, we confirmed on induration with the diameter of 5cm in the left axilla and another induration with the diameter of 1cm in the right axilla. The left axillary tumor was diagnosed as adenocarcinoma by a core needle biopsy. Abnormal shade did not accept the bilateral breasts on ultrasonography. By whole body inspection, no unusual view was seen in the other organs. We performed an operation with suspicion of left accessory breast cancer, left axillary sweat gland cancer or left axillary lymph node metastasis. A biopsy of the right axillary tumor was performed during operation. On pathological inspection, it was fibroadenoma. Then we performed a resection of the left axillary tumor and left lymph node dissection according to the method for breast cancer. Pathologically the left axillary tumor was accessory breast cancer generated from the accerssory mammary gland. Radiationthepapy was added. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful.
