Your patient is a nursing mother who asks you to look at a mole she has under her left breast at the inframammary fold. The mole is nontender and soft and has grown in size since she started nursing. There are no other changes to the mole

This mole probably represents an undiagnosed: a. Montgomery tubercle.
b. case of Paget disease.
c. supernumerary nipple.
d. fat necrosis.


C
Supernumerary nipples usually resemble moles and occur, as this one does, along the milk line. Those that have glandular tissue may enlarge under hormonal influences. They may not be rec-ognized as extra nipples in infants because they are usually small and not well formed.
