A 32-year-old man had his moles checked up.




Dermoscopy revealed:

  • Light-brown peripheral network

 In favor of an accessory nipple

A third nipple.


A 28-year-old man consulted for this pigmented lesion located under his nipple. He was thinking this lesion was present since birth.


Dermoscopy revealed a central hypo-pigmented area with a peripheral pigmented reticulation.
This feature looks like a dermatofibroma

This lesion was a surnumerary nipple (accessory nipple)
