Familial Polythelia over three generations with polymastia in the youngest girl.
European Journal of Pediatrics, 2001Co-Authors: Assimina Galli-tsinopoulou, Carsten Krohn, Heinrich SchmidtAbstract:Supernumerary nipples or Polythelia are developmental abnormalities located along the embryonic mammary lines. It is the most common form of accessory breast tissue malformation and usually occurs sporadically but familial aggregation has been reported. Polythelia has been reported in association with congenital malformations, in particular with renal anomalies. Polymastia in female patients has been reported to manifest usually during pregnancy or lactation. We report on a pedigree with six cases of Polythelia over three generations and one case of Polythelia and polymastia in the youngest member of this family. The girl (11 years old ) had in addition to six supernumerary nipples, an accessory breast gland located under the normal left breast. No other congenital malformations could be detected. This girl will remain under follow-up until the end of puberty when the accessory breast gland will be removed. Manifestation of polymastia during puberty rarely has been reported.

Conclusion Polymastia may appear with familial Polythelia even without renal anomalies.

Politelia familiar asociada con anomalías dentarias: un caso clínico
Colombia Medica, 2014Co-Authors: Gabriel M. Fonseca, Mario CantínAbstract:Polythelia has been defined as the presence of supernumerary nipples without accessory glandular tissue. Usually, these growths follow imaginary mammary lines running from the armpits to the groin. Although the presence of dental anomalies may occasion only a simple cosmetic problem with specific clinical considerations, the association with family Polythelia has been scarcely reported. This paper reports on a case of Polythelia that is associated with dental anomalies in an Argentine family and discusses suggestions for a thorough dental history and medical consultation to prevent possible pathological conditions or potential malignant transformation of mammary tissues.

Polythelia family associated with dental anomalies: a case report
2014Co-Authors: Gabriel M. Fonseca, Mario CantínAbstract:Polythelia is defined as the presence of supernumerary nipples without the presence of additional mammary gland, within the milk line extending from the axilla to the pubic region. Though the presence of dental anomalies can create a simple esthetic problem with specific clinical considerations, the association with familial Polythelia has rarely been reported. A report of association of dental anomalies and Polythelia in an Argentinean family is presented and the considerations about the dental practice suggesting a careful anamnesis and referral to a medical consultation with regard to possible pathologic conditions or potentially malignant transformation of accessory breasts are discussed.

right upper limb bud triplication and Polythelia left sided hemihypertrophy and congenital hip dislocation facial dysmorphism congenital heart disease and scoliosis disorganisation like spectrum or patterning gene defect
Journal of Medical Genetics, 1995Co-Authors: Mahmoud Ayman Sabry, Q Alsaleh, R Alsawan, S A Alawadi, T I FaragAbstract:A Somali female baby with right upper limb triplication, Polythelia, left sided hemihypertrophy, congenital hip dislocation, facial dysmorphism, congenital heart disease, and scoliosis is described. It seems that the above described pattern of anomalies has not been reported before. The possible developmental genetic mechanism responsible for this phenotype is briefly discussed.

Polythelia: Still a marker of urinary tract anomalies in children?
Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology, 2009Co-Authors: Pietro Ferrara, Valentina Giorgio, Ottavio Vitelli, Antonio Gatto, Valerio Romano, Francesca Del Bufalo, Alessandro NicolettiAbstract:Objective. Supernumerary nipples (SNN), or Polythelia, are the most common form of the accessory mammary tissue malformation. The frequency of this condition ranges from 0.2% to 5.6% depending on various factors. This condition is associated with several anomalies, although this association is often controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between SNN and kidney/urinary tract (K/UT) anomalies, where anomalies is taken to mean functional disorders, malformations and diseases. Material and methods. A case–control study was performed. The study evaluated 166 children (case group) referred to the Pediatric Nephrology Unit of the Department of Pediatrics of the Catholic University of Rome and 182 children (control group) admitted to the Department of Pediatrics because of pathologies not involving the urinary tract. Results. There were 11 children with SNN in the case group, and only two patients in the control group (6.62% vs 1.09%, p
