Sebocystomatosis of the Axillae: Unveiling a Rare Entity

Abstract

A 32-year-old female presented to the Outpatient Department of Surgery with complaints of swelling in the right breast and similar complaints in the right axillary region for the past three months. The patient was fine three months ago but developed swelling in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast that gradually increased, along with swelling in the right axilla and multiple small nodules in it. On local examination, the swelling in the right breast was initially small, painless, and gradually increasing in size, with a soft to firm consistency. The right axillary swelling was soft in consistency, non tender on palpation, and had multiple small skin-coloured to yellow nodules.
