[Ectopic mammary gland on the back].
A supernumerary, fully developed mammary gland between both shoulder blades above the vertebral column was discovered in a 32-year-old woman when it caused symptoms. It was removed by operation. Histological examination revealed fibrous mastopathy. The only abnormal radiological feature was a spina bifida of T6 at the site of the ectopic breast.
