Supernumerary Nipples and Renal Malformations: A Family Study

  • Published:
Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery: Incorporating Medical and Surgical Dermatology

Abstract

We describe a family with supernumerary nipples and kidney and urinary tract malformations. The proband is a 59-year-old man with a supernumerary nipple and recently identified hypoplastic kidney, bladder diverticulum, and hypotonic bladder. His mother also has a supernumerary nipple and a recently identified hypoplastic kidney. Of his three children, all male, one has a supernumerary nipple but has not been evaluated for a kidney or urinary tract malformation. This familial disorder is discussed.

Sommaire

Nous décrivons le cas d’une famille dont les membres présentent des mamelons surnuméraires, ainsi qu’une malformation des reins et des voies urinaires. Le proposant est un homme de 59 ans présentant un mamelon surnuméraire chez qui on a récemment identifié un rein hypoplastique, un diverticule de la vessie et une vessie hypotonique. La mère du sujet présente également un mamelon surnuméraire et un rein hypoplastique récemment identifié. L’un des trois fils du sujet a un mamelon surnuméraire mais n’a pas été évalué pour une malformation rénale ou des voies urinaires. Ce trouble familial est discuté.
