It is seen commonly in the axilla. It is asymptomatic or causes pain, restricts arm movement, causes cosmetic problems, or causes anxiety. We evaluated symptoms, signs, investigations, treatment, and postoperative complications of women with accessory breast tissue.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our cross-sectional study was conducted in the Surgery OPD, Nagpur, on 52 women who presented with accessory breast tissue in the period from January 2019 to October 2023.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, of 52 patients, the majority, that is, 38 (73.07%) patients, presented with uneasiness due to the position of mass followed by 25 (48.07%) with swelling in the axilla. Twelve (23.07%) patients presented with pain in mass in premenstrual and menstrual periods, and seven (13.46%) patients with accessory nipples. Fifty (96.15%) patients had axillary swelling. One (1.92%) patient each had swelling in groin and thigh. Thirty-six (69.2%) patients had sonography findings consistent with breast-like tissue. In nine (17.30%) patients, findings suggested lipoma. Surgical excision was conducted in 52 (100%) patients. In 43 (82.69%) patients, histopathology was consistent with simple breast tissue. In six (11.53%) patients, it was fibroadenoma, and in three (6.76%) patients, histopathology was suggestive of carcinoma. Twenty-eight (53.84%) patients had no complications. Thirteen (25%) patients had an allergy to sticking, six (11.53%) patients had uneven scar, and four (7.69%) patients had hypertrophy of scar.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In our study, in the majority of patients, the site of accessory breast tissue was axilla.
