| Abstract: | Polythelia is defined as presence of a third or more nipples in a human being, this term polythelia is derived from the Greek language, meaning many nipples. At times this term is used interchangeably with the term polymastia which means presence of more than two breasts in an individual, however these two conditions can occur concurrently. We report a case of a 13-year-old girl who presented with history of having been born with extra nipples, which were noticed at birth by the mother the mother was not bothered because the girl was growing normally compared to other girls who were born in the same period. Nevertheless, the mother began getting worried about the girl’s condition when the girl, started complaining to her that her breasts were different from those of other girls, she further reported that her peers and pupils in upper primary classes were telling that her condition was associated with things like curses, and fertility. Subsequently these complaints were followed by self-isolation from the peers, putting on overfitting clothes and reduced participation in classroom activities and this tremendously affected her performance in academics. The polythelia was treated by simple bilateral excitons without intra or post operative complications, the tissue was subjected to histology and tissue showed ducts within stroma with normal epidermis overlying the stroma which confirmed a diagnosis of polythelia. In subsequent follow-up, abdominal ultrasound showed no associated abdominal abnormalities and had improved happily associating with peers and active in class activities. |
