Has anyone had excess breast tissue in armpits?

Have you ever heard of anyone having big globs of tissue in the armpits, so it shows as bulges when you put your arms down? How about surgery to remove it?

Update:

I'm over 40. This actually started when I was about 12, but it just slowly keeps getting bigger, and has gotten to a point where people are noticing it as something grotesque. I like to go swimming, but I can't find a way to hide it in a swimsuit. It is a full handful on each side.

    Yes, this is a (not so) common area, along the body's "milk line", for accessory mammaries to develop. Most often you are born with them, they just waited until now to develop (how old are you ?). Sometimes they will not develop during puberty but will later in life usually associated with an onslaught of hormonal changes, i.e. pregnancy, menopause, etc...
