Foot Boob

After a 12-hour workday, I was getting ready to get my weary ass home when I glanced at my meebo tab and saw the following IM:

Gee: http://dermatology.cdlib.org/124/case_presentations/pseudomamma/conde.html
Gee: enjoy!

How I could resist such temptation? I clicked on the link and loaded the following page: “Pseudomamma on the foot: An unusual presentation of supernumerary breast tissue.” Great. What the hell does that mean? I scrolled down a bit, and saw the following pictures to which I concordantly started cracking up:

Foot boob! Foot boob 2

A 22-year-old woman sought medical care for a lesion in the plantar region of her left foot, a well-formed nipple surrounded by areola and hair. Microscopic examination of the dermis showed hair follicles, eccrine glands, and sebaceous glands. Fat tissue was noted at the base of the lesion. Clinical and histopathologic findings were consistent with the diagnosis of supernumerary breast tissue, also known as pseudomamma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of supernumerary breast tissue on the foot.

Don’t really understand all that medical mumbo jumbo? That’s ok. Let me translate. She has a foot boob. That’s right, hair on the nipple and everything. There’s basically real breast tissue on her foot — no superfluous fake third nipple here. That there is a real boob.
