A 22-year-old woman sought medical care after noticing a "well-formed" nipple growing on the sole of her left foot. The nipple, complete with areola, hair, sweat and sebaceous glands, is the first known example of a "pseudomamma" in this unusual location.
"Anomalies associated with breast development are not uncommon," wrote Dr. Délio Marques Conde et al., authors of a clinical report published in Dermatology. " ... Supernumerary breast tissue is rarely found beyond the mammary line. However, the back, shoulder, face, and thigh have been described as sites of SBT development. ... To our knowledge, this is the first report of SBT on the foot."

I smell a new fetish coming on.
most ticklish foot in the world?
The part of my brain that is freaked out by the uncanny valley is also freaking out just now.
what’s next? pseudomamma piercings?
Rule 34 in 3…2…1… I mean, how can it NOT be so? I love the Intertubes.
This is a story that was making the rounds in 2006 (http://thefootblog.wordpress.com/2006/12/13/pseudomamma-on-the-foot-an-unusual-presentation-of-supernumerary-breast-tissue/ referencing Dermatology Online Vol 12 No 4 http://dermatology.cdlib.org/124/case_presentations/pseudomamma/conde.html). Why is this suddenly popping on Drudge and BoingBoing five years later?
“Why is this suddenly popping on Drudge and BoingBoing five years later?”
Because new nipples are never old.
Unusually cold day, maybe?
zing!
Somewhere foot fetishists are rejoicing
Surprisingly, combining fetishes does not have a multiplicative effect.
There was an episode of House like this, where the patient ended up being diagnosed with breast cancer on the back of one of her knees. I think it was that she had a twin in the womb that she absorbed, or something, so she had breast cells on the back of the knee that became cancerous.
F’ed News actually ran this as part of a slideshow on ‘8 Oddest Medical Conditions’, I suspect purely so they could include a slide for the closeup.
That beats my three extra. They just look like moles.
Three extra? Damn, I thought my two extra were special. Well arranged on chest, not on feet.
Man, the chafing/rubbing must be horrible. Do heel bras even exist?
That brings new meaning to the term “arch support.”
Sorry no bras, but as I noticed the other day, they DO sell thongs.

Who knew foot massages could be so dirty…
Quick Brethren, get the Malleus Maleficarum and the witch prickers.
Gives a whole new spin to the saying “putting your foot in your mouth”
What happens when it’s cold out?
She’s a witch. Burn her!
Sad to think, that’s exactly what would have happened — may still happen — in some cultures.
Yes, you’re right, people WERE having too good a time in here. Thanks. Killjoy.
Does this still count as 2nd base?
Quentin Tarrentino proposing to this women in 3…2…1
Need a ride? No thanks, I love to walk.
Oh man. Too bad she was born a century too late, she could have teamed up with P. T. Barnum and MADE A FORTUNE!
If this woman’s biography gets turned into a feature film, no need to guess who the director will be.
jim sheridan?
That’s nothing, this girl has 5 nipples and the extra ones work(potentially NSFW)!
