Abstract
Congenital variations of the shape and structure of the nipple lacks coverage in the medical literature. We present four cases of a specific and unique congenital nipple anomaly, the cleft nipple. Each woman had a normal contralateral breast and nipple-areola complex. Three of the four cases were corrected surgically with no complications experienced. Included in the discussion is a description of the techniques used in the corrective surgery and a review of the current literature on associated variations of normality.
