POLYTHELIA Polythelia is a rare condition in which an otherwise apparently normal breast isprovided with more than one nipple. In discussing polymastia it was pointed out that there are good reasons for supposingthat wherever a bona fide nipple, even of rudimentary development is discovered, some. 92 THE BREAST mammary gland tissue is present. That being conceded, it becomes correct to call allcases of supernumerary nipples, polymastia, except those in which such a supernumerarystructure is present upon what appears to be a single and otherwise normal mammarygland. The unfortunately brief and inadequate descriptions of many of the reported casesmake it difficult to classify them with accuracy, as polymastic or polythelic malforma-tions. Such must be treated, according to the opinion of the writer, who does the besthe can with the data at hand. This is an apology for any inconsistency that may bedetected in the present scheme. Supernumerary nipples in by far the greater number of cases make their appearanceupon the convex surface of the breast below but in about the same vertical line with thenormal nipple. The distance between the two varies considerably and measurementsof the distance seem to be of no importance
