Accessory breasts are an uncommon entity. They may present as asymptomatic masses or cause symptoms such as pain or restriction of arm movements. They may prove to be a diagnostic challenge if found in locations along or outside the mammary line. We report a case of an ectopic accessory breast presenting as a large pendulous mass in the axilla which proved to be a diagnostic dilemma. Excision biopsy was diagnostic.
