Surface AnatomyLie anterior to the pectoralis major & serratus ant. mus.Between the second and sixth ribsFrom lateral side of sternum to the midaxillary line.Tail of Spence: projects up and laterally into the axilla.Nipple is located below the center of the breast (milk
duct openings)Areola: surrounds the nipple, contains small elevated
sebaceous glands called “Montgomery’s glands/tubercles ” (secrete protective lipid material during lactation). 2.5-10 cm in diameter

Internal AnatomyThe breast is composed of:1. Glandular tissue2. Fibrous tissue including suspensory ligaments (Cooper’s
Ligament) provide support for breast tissue. In Cancer these become contracted and cause dimpling.
3. Adipose tissue (fat)4. Breasts are supported by a bed of muscles:
1. Pectoralis major & minor2. Latissimus dorsi3. Serratus anterior4. Rectus abdominus5. External oblique

Milk LineEctodermal Galactic BandDevelops during 5th week
of fetal devmtMost of the band
atrophies except in the thoracic area
Incomplete atrophy results in the development of extra nipples known as supernumerary nipples

Lymphatic DrainageThe breast has extensive lymphatic drainage.More than 75% drain into the ipsilateral axillary nodes.Central axillary nodes, pectoral, subscapular and lateral
nodes.Internal mammary nodes

Developmental ConsiderationsDiagram of breast development-note changes p 416
at puberty - breast development begins between ages 8 & 10 – stimulated by estrogen release during puberty- with the appearance of breast buds - onset of menses usually follows in 2-3 years – asymmetry in breast development is not abnormal.
during pregnancy and lactation - enlarge several times normal size, colostrum after the fourth month
maturity - after menopause - as estrogen secretion declines the tissue atrophies and is replaced with fatty deposits - reduction in breast size results - breasts become flabbier and hang more loosely from the chest wall as the ligaments relax

Male BreastDuring adolescence, temporary enlargement is common
(gynecomastia)UnilateralProvide reassuranceGynecomastia reappears in the aging male and may be
due to testosterone deficiency.

Normal Findings for PalpationPalpable lymph nodes less than 1 cm in diameter
usually are clinically insignificantPalpation should not elicit painConsistency of breast tissue is highly variable
depending on age, time in menstrual cycle, and proportion of adipose tissue
Breasts are usually nodular or granular before menses
Variation with breast augmentation—breasts feel firm throughout

Breast CancerSecond major cause of death from cancer in womenidentify risk factors70% of breast cancers occur with only age and gender as
identifiable risk.5 year survival rate for localized breast cancer is 98%.If cancer has spread regionally, the rate is 76 to 88%.
