Pezones supernumerarios - Información general

Nombres alternativos

Politelia; Polimastia; Pezones accesorios

Definición:

Es la presencia de pezones adicionales.

Consideraciones generales:

Los pezones supernumerarios son bastante comunes y generalmente no tienen relación con otras afecciones o síndromes. Los pezones adicionales usualmente se presentan en una fila por debajo de los pezones existentes y con frecuencia no se los reconoce como pezones extra, debido a que tienden a ser pequeños y a no estar bien formados.

Causas comunes:

  • Variación del desarrollo normal
  • Algunos síndromes genéticos raros pueden estar asociados con los pezones supernumerarios
