- Abstract
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.
