Cleft-like appearance of accessory nipple in digital microscopy

Abstract

Dear Sir, Accessory nipples are solitary or multiple rudimentary nipples developing along the two vertical ‘milk-lines’. Most cases are sporadic and asymptomatic. Accessory nipple occurs in 1-6% of the population and affects both genders equally.1 It is often mistaken as dermatofi broma in clinical or dermatoscopic examination. Blum et al. have reported a case of accessory nipple indistinguishable from dermatofi broma, with dermatoscopic features such as peripheral pigment network and central scar-like white-colored area.
