4 MODULE: BREASTS AND AXILLAE ASSESSMENT OF BREASTS AND AXILLA OVERVIEW A. Cardinal symptoms 1. pain or discomfort 2. masses 3. nipple deviation/discharge 4. swelling 5. more prominent venous pattern 6. skin changes *evaluate cyclic occurrence, changes over time, duration, lactation history B. Physical examination--key points 1. inspect/palpate in various positions: size, symmetry, contour skin: color/thickening/venous pattern nipples: size, shape, direction, lesion, discharge 2. Palpate in systematic fashion for consistency, tenderness, nodules, nipple elasticity,nodules, discharge, nodes C. Examples of findings: 1. nipples-supernumeraries, inversion, discharge, or galactorrhea 2. nipple erhthema, erosion-paget s disease, dermatitis, nipple fissure 3. tender masses/cysts, single or multiple--fibrocystic breasts 4. painless masses--fibroadeoma, cyst, carcinoma, TB 5. inflammatory masses--mastitis, abscess, inflammatory, CA 6. gynecomastia/mastitis/ carcinoma/fibroadenoma of male breast D. Changes with Aging The female breast shows evidence of the aging process. Axillary axis decreases, breast tissue and mammary glands atrophy and nipples may be inverted. The breasts tend to decrease in size and become more pendulous as glandular tissue atrophies, suspensory ligaments relax, and subcutaneous fat decreases. Subjective Complaint Objective Findings 1. decreased axillary hair 1. decreased axillary hair 2. nipple s turning in 2. inverted nipples 3. palpable breast mass 3. fibrotic and calcified, terminal breast 4. pendulous breasts ducts, easily palpated as linear strands
