OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to describe the MRI appearance of accessory breast tissue that should be considered a diagnostic possibility in peripubertal or pubertal girls who present with an axillary mass along the course of the primitive milk streak.

CONCLUSION. The MRI appearance of accessory breast tissue is of a mass discontinuous with—but with signal intensity and contrast enhancement characteristics similar to—normal breast parenchyma.
