Abstract
Polythelia also known as supernumerary is an anomaly in the breast development by extra number of nipples. We report a case of polythelia in the Gynecology-Obstetrics department of the CHU Gabriel Touré. This was a 32-year-old woman received for pregnancy monitoring, in whom we accidentally discovered three pairs of nipples located on both breasts. In the postpartum period, five of the six nipples were found to secrete milk.
