5. Right Breast #3: This breast shows a
retracted nipple with “orangeskin” effect,
and on careful palpation, a mass can be felt
immediately under the nipple. The breast
represents a carcinoma in one of the milk
ducts.
6. Left Breast #3: This form of breast cancer
(scirrhus carcinoma) is one of the more
commonly encountered malignant tumors
of the breast. When palpating, note the
infiltrating nature of the growth. It has no well-
defined borders and cannot be moved within
the breast.

3. Right Breast #2: This breast shows a
comparatively rare but palpable tumor: a
giant sarcoma (or giant mammary myxoma)
of which the wildly growing masses can
be easily felt. The Giant Sarcoma can be
palpated in the lower outer quadrant, and the
sarcomas, including a columnar mass, are
scattered within the upper quadrants.
4. Left Breast #2: This breast shows one of
the most common types of benign growths
(fibroadenomas) for women under the age of
30. Three fibroadenomas varying in size from
10-16mm and an additional 20mm benign
tumor are scattered around the breast.
