Mammary glands
The female reproductive system document summarizes the anatomy of the mammary gland. It describes the location, shape, structure, blood supply, lymphatic and venous drainage of the mammary gland. The summary also discusses applied anatomy including common issues like breast cancer, infections, and congenital anomalies. Key points include that the mammary gland is made of 15-20 lobes containing lobules and alveoli, has blood supply from intercostal and thoracic arteries, and drains lymphatically to axillary lymph nodes.

- 5. Mammary Gland EXTENT • Vertical: 2-6 ribs in mid-clavicular line • Hori : lat border sternum – mid axillary line at level of 4th rib • Extends into axilla – Axillary tail of SPENCE – Foramen of LANGER SHAPE • hemispherical, conical, pendulous, etc
- 6. MAMMARY GLAND – Superficial& deep surface – Superficial surface • Skin, nipple & areola • Under skin, superficial fascia has nerves/vessels • Nipple and areola - No subcutaneous fat and hair. 6
- 7. Nipple • 4th ICS,4 inch from midline • 15 – 20 lactiferous ducts open • Presence of circular muscle, longitudinal muscle • Rich nerve supply
- 8. 8 Areola – Circular pigmentedarea, pink or brown. – Periphery : sebaceous glands – Enlarged as Tubercles of MONTGOMERY during pregnancy – Lubrication of nipple and areola – Lactiferous sinus
- 9. 9 Deep surface Retro mammaryspace – Separates mam gland from Pectoralis major fascia – Contains areolar tissue – Helps in mobility of breast – Space for breast implants
- 10. 10 DEEP RELATIONS –MAMMARY BED • Covered by deep fascia – Pectoralis major : • Medial 2/3, – Serratus Anterior : • Upper two digitations • Lat 1/3, – EO aponeurosis • Inferomedially – separate it from rectus sheath
- 11. 11 STRUCTURE • Glandular portionwith parenchyma • Connective tissue i.e stroma Fibrous tissue Fatty tissue Suspensory lig of cooper
- 12. Glandular portion – 15-20 lobes each with multiple lobules containing acini or alveoli – lactiferous duct- commence toward nipple from each lobe – lactiferous sinus opens into tip of nipple – Lobes radially arranged, hence incision radially given – Glandular tissue increase during pregnancy and lactation 12

- 19. 19 LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE – Axillary(five sub group) – Internal mammary LN • along Internal mammary V – Supraclavicular – Posterior IC Lymph nodes
- 20. 20 Summary Lymphatic drainage –75 % Parenchyma = Axillary LN – 20 % Parenchyma = Internal mammary LN – 5 % parenchyma = Post IC Nodes along Post IC vein
- 21. 21 • Investigations – Mammography •Soft tissue radiographs of breast. • Cyst (well defined smooth opacity) and carcinomas (irregular density, distortion of breast tissue, calcification) – FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) • Used for cell diagnosis APPLIED ANATOMY
- 22. 22 • AXILLARY TAIL –Well developed axillary tail mistaken for enlarged lymph nodes/Lipoma • Nipple – Cracked nipple • in later pregnancy and lactation. • Nipple to be washed, and lubricated with lanolin – Discharges • management depends upon presence of lump
- 23. 23 – Infections andinflammations – cause mastitis with abscess – Cysts – Tumors • Benign – Lipoma, fibro adenoma • Malignant – carcinoma “more in nulliparous and bearing child protective” – Spread by local, lymphatic and blood stream. – LN involvement shows metastatic potential. – Advanced disease – involve supraclavicular
- 24. 24 – Malignant tumourscont,d • Presentation – – Hard lump with retracted nipple – Peau d’ orange (orange like skin) – involvement of skin of breast due to cutaneous lymphatic oedema – Advanced – ulceration, fixation to chest wall, metastatsis to viscera, bone • Treatment – Mastectomy – Radiotherapy – Harmone therapy – chemotherapy
- 25. 25 Breast Cancer • Breastcancer – Peau d orange – nipple retraction, – skin dimpling – Metastasis : • skull and brain (Batsons plexus of veins) A - Dimpling of skin B - Retracted nipple C - Peau d orange A – due to pull by lig of cooper B - due to retraction of milk ducts C – due to lymphatic obstruction

- 27. 27 KRUKENBERGS TUMOUR Secondary depositsin ovaries due to spread from Ca breast : • Lymph inferomedial part • communicate with rectus sheath – • pierce Linea alba – forms Sub peritoneal plexus – drain into subdiaphragmatic LN – • pass through Falciform lig – • reach hepatic node – – Cause obstructive jaundice • Tumor cells drop from sub peritoneal plexus into general cavity – • reach surface of ovary and enter through Ostia left by ovulating Graafian follicle – KRUKENBERGS (secondary deposits on surface of ovary)

- 29. 29 Congenital anomalies – Polythelia •Supernumery nipples over breast – Athelia • No nipple over breast (mainly accessory breast) – Polymastia • Accessory breast along milk ridge – Amastia • No breast development – Amazia • Nipple developed, no breast development
