Abstract
Ectopic breast tissue can occur anywhere along the primitive embryonic milk line, which extends from axilla to groin. However, the occurrence of ectopic breast tissue in the vulva is rare and less than 50 cases had been reported. We experienced a case of ectopic breast tissue in the vulva, which is the first case of ectopic breast tissue in the vulva in Korean literature.
