Abstract
Ectopic breast tissue (EBT) is relatively common and can occur along the milk line or mammary ridge and often outside this line. We report a case of a female patient presenting with a suprapubic mass for 2 years, found later to be EBT containing a fibroadenoma. We believe this is a very rare finding. Moreover, we highlight the importance of considering EBT in the differential diagnoses of soft tissue masses.
