K.Ya. Scutul. About polymast. - Journal of Obstetrics and Women's Diseases 1909 December

Abstract

In the article-report, the author collected information about polymastia available in the literature and supplemented them with his own observation of one case of 5 additional glands on the chest. According to the statistics he cited, polymastia in various forms is a far from uncommon phenomenon: from 6 to 14% of the examined men (recruits) - according to v. Bardeleben'y and supposedly less in women. When distributing cases of polymastia into groups according to the number of additional glands and according to their location, it can be seen that the smaller the group, the more its constituent cases deviate from the normal number of glands and the further their position is from the usual one (for example, on the back, on the thigh , in the inguinal fold).
