Breast And Lymphatic System Flashcards
(50 cards)
Retracted breast tissue suggests
malignancy.
Resulting from edema an orange peel appearance of the breast is associated with cancer.
PRALI D’ORANGE
Reddened, painful area on breast warm to palpation.
MASTITIS
a smooth, fim, movable disc of glandular tissue, may be seen in one breast in males during puberty, usually temporarily
Gynecomastia
Redness and flaking of the nipple may be seen early in____ and then disappear. However, further assessment is needed because this does not mean the disease is gone Fingling itching increased sensitivity, burning, discharge, and pain in the nipple are late signs of Paget disease. It may occur in both breasts, but is rare.
PAGET DISEASE WITH INVASIVE INTRADUCTAL CARCINOMA
what size doe lymph nodes may indicate infection of the hand or arm. Large nodes that are hard and fixed to the skin may indicate an underlying malignancy,
(greater than 1 am)
is a small growth inside a milk duct of the breast, often near the areola. It is harmless and occurs in women ages 35-50.
intraductal papilloma
are a collection of fatty tissue that may also appear as a lump.
Lipomas
(sacs filled with milk) and infections (mastitis) may tum into an abscess and occur if breastfeeding or recently given birth.
Milk cysts (
paired mammary glands that lie over the muscles of
the anterior chest wall, anterior to the pectoralis
major and serratus anterior muscles.
- Breast
Depending on their size and shape, the breasts extend
vertically from the ____ and horizontally
from the ____
2nd to the 6th rib
sternum to the mid-axillary line.
The upper outer quadrant, which extends into the
axillary area, is referred to as the
tail of Spence.
o surrounds the nipple (generally 1 to 2 cm radius)
Areola
- Areola contains elevated sebaceous glands ___ that secrete a protective lipid substance
during lactation.
(Montgomery
glands)
___ nipples or other breast
tissue may appear along this “milk line”
supernumerary
Female breasts consist of three types of tissue: .
glandular,
fibrous, and fatty
constitutes the functional part of the breast, allowing
for milk production
o arranged in 15 to 20 lobes that radiate in a circular
fashion from the nipple.
Glandular tissue
from the alveoli converge into a single lactiferous
duct that leaves each lobe and conveys milk to the
nipple.
- Mammary ducts
- slight enlargement in each duct before it
reaches the nipple - milk can be stored until stimulated
Lactiferous sinus
Fibrous tissue
o provides support for the glandular tissue largely by
way of bands called ____
Cooper’s ligaments
(suspensory ligaments).
provides support for the glandular tissue largely by
way of bands called Cooper’s ligaments
(suspensory ligaments).
Fibrous tissue
___fat provides most
of the substance to the breast
subcutaneous and retromammary
The major axillary lymph nodes consist of the
anterior (__), posterior (___), lateral
(_____), and central(_____) nodes.
(pectoral),subscapular, brachial, mid-axillary
– drain the anterior chest wall
and breasts
