摘要
A young South African woman has bilateral duplication of the nipples and areolae in an apparently horizontal plane on each breast. She is otherwise normal in every respect, and her family history is negative. This configuration of breast tissue is very unusual and, to the best of our knowledge, it has not previously been reported.
