Synonym: ramus costalis lateralis arteriae thoracicae internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| body of mammary gland | The principal part of the breast, consisting of glandular tissue and its supporting fibrous tissue. It forms a conical mass converging toward the nipple and is surrounded by adipose tissue. Synonym: corpus mammae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paget's disease, mammary | An intraductal carcinoma of the breast extending to involve the nipple and areola, characterised clinically by eczema-like inflammatory skin changes and histologically by infiltration of the dermis by malignant cells (paget's cells). (12 Dec 1998) |
| mammary | <anatomy> Pertaining to the mamma or breast. Origin: L. Mammarius (18 Nov 1997) |

| mammary cancer virus of mice | Member of the retrovirus subfamily Oncornavirinae, antigenically distinct from the murine leukaemia-sarcoma complex, that is associated with adenocarcinomatous tumours of the mammary gland, commonly latent in wild and laboratory mice and causing cancer only in genetically susceptible strains under certain hormonal influences.

| mammary duct ectasia | A noncancerous breast disease most often found in women during menopause. The ducts in or beneath the nipple become clogged with cellular and fatty debris. The duct may have gray to greenish discharge, a lump you can feel and can become inflamed, causing pain. (09 Oct 1997) |

| mammary fold | Bandlike thickening of ectoderm in the embryo extending on either side from just below the axilla to the inguinal region; in human embryos, the mammary glands arise from primordia in the thoracic part of the ridge, the balance of the ridge disappearing; in some lower mammals which give birth to a litter of young, several milk glands develop along these lines. Synonym: mammary fold, milk line, milk ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
