Accessory breasts, also known as polymastia, supernumerary breasts, or mammae erraticae, is the condition of having an additional breast. These extra breasts may appear with or without nipples or areolae. The condition, a form of atavism, is most commonly observed in males and is generally harmless, often going untreated.
The periareolar glands of Montgomery in the breast are also called Montgomery tubercles or Morgagni tubercles. These periareolar glands are small, papular tissue projections at the edge of the areola (nipple).Obstruction of the Montgomery tubercles may result in an acute inflammation, a clear or light brownish fluid may drain out of the areola (nipple discharge), and an subareolar mass may ...
For breast pathology, also in distinguishing usual ductal hyperplasia (UDH) and papillary lesions (having a mosaic-like pattern) from ductal carcinoma in situ, which is usually negative. [1] Cyclin D1 and CK5/6 staining could be used in concert to distinguish between the diagnosis of papilloma (Cyclin D1 < 4.20%, CK 5/6 positive) or papillary ...
The Triple Nipple Club is a documentary shown on Channel 4 which explored the biological mystery of the supernumerary nipple. [9] First broadcast on 2 January 2008, it was directed and produced by Dan Louw and commissioned as part of Channel 4's First Cut series. [10]
The microscopic histopathological findings in PB tumor tissues stained with H&E include the excessive proliferation of irregularly shaped, variably sized, ductal epithelial cells, ductal myoepithelial cells, [3] [4] and lipid-laden, foamy intra-cystic histiocytes [5] within the breast's apocrine glands, abnormally widened gland ducts, abundant ...
A papillary hidradenoma, also termed hidradenoma papilliferum or mammary-like gland adenoma of the vulva, [1] is a rare, but nonetheless most common benign tumor that occurs in and between anal and genital regions (i.e. anogenital area) of females. [2]
For example, it appears that the axillary mound is more likely to contain accessory ductal tissue than any of the other accessory fatty mounds along each mammary chain, perhaps more commonly serving as a nidus for breast cancer formation, though incidence of tumor formation in the other vestigial breast mounds has not been established.
Apocrine ductal carcinoma in situ (ACDIS) is a very rare breast carcinoma which is regarded as a variant of the ductal carcinoma in situ breast tumors. ACDIS tumors have microscopic histopathology features that are similar to pure apocrine carcinoma of the breast tumors but differ from them in that they are completely localized, i.e. have not invaded nearby tissues or metastasized to distant ...
