title: Invasive lobular carcinoma arising in accessory breast tissue.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Lobular carcinoma in accessory breast tissue is a rare occurrence. We present such a case in a 61-year-old woman.
  
  
  METHODS
  A skin nodule in the axillary skin on excision biopsy revealed invasive lobular carcinoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Carcinoma in accessory breast tissue is uncommon especially invasive lobular type. A high index of suspicion may avoid late diagnosis.
