deep, substernal cross drainage to contralateral internal mammary chain - superficial presternal crossover - lateral intercostals - mediastinal - rectus abdominal muscle sheath to subdiaphragmatic and subperitoneal plexus – Gerota Pathway - direct spread to liver and retroperitoneal lymph nodes Innervation · lateral and anterior cutaneous branches of 2nd to 6th intercostal nerves · lateral branch of 4th intercostal nerve – dominant to nipple · upper portion of breast – anterior or medial branches of the supraclavicular nerve from cervical plexus Embryology Independent of Placental Hormones Fetal weeks Stage Development 5 Ectodermal primitive milk streak (galactic band) develops from axilla to groin In region of thorax, band develops to form mammary ridge, remaining band regresses 7-8 Milk hill Thickening in mammary anlage Disk Invagination into chest wall mesenchyme Globular Tridimensional growth 10-14 Cone Further invasion of chest wall mesenchyme results in flattening of ridge 12-16 Mesenchymal cells differentiate into the smooth muscle of the nipple and areola Budding Development of epithelial buds 16 Branching Epithelial buds branch to form 15-25 strips of epithelium (future secretory alveoli) · secondary mammary anlage then develops – differentiation of hair follicle, sebaceous gland and sweat gland elements (only sweat glands develop fully at this time) · special apocrine glands develop to form Montgomery’s glands around nipple Dependent on Placental Hormones Fetal weeks Stage Development 20-32 Canalization Canalization of the branched epithelial tissues 32-40 End-vesicle Parenchymal differentiation with development of lobular-alveolar structures that contain colostrum Lactiferous ducts open into a shallow pit which everts and gives rise to the nipple Nipple-areola complex develops and becomes pigmented Neonate · stimulated mammary tissue secretes colostral milk (witch’s milk) – can be expressed from the nipple for 4-7 days postpartum in most neonates of either sex · colostral secretion declines over 3-4 weeks – involution of breast after withdrawal of placental hormones Early Childhood · end vesicles become further canalized and develop into ductal structures by additional growth and branching · dense fibrous stroma and ducts lined by epithelium Development · puberty in girls begins at age 10-12 yrs. · Estrogen (immature ovarian follicles) o stimulate longitudinal ductal growth of ductal epithelium o Terminal ductules form buds that precede further breast lobules o Periductal connective tissue increases in volume and elasticity, with enhanced vascularity and fat deposition · Progesterone (mature ovarian follicles) o Stimulates acinar epithelium, reduces estrogen binding to epithelium, limits tubular proliferation o Together with estrogen, produce full ductular-lobular-alveolar development o Relative role of each hormone not clear · Microanatomy o Growing and dividing ducts that form terminal end buds (TEB) o TEBs form new branches, twigs and small ductules termed alveolar buds o Alveolar buds differentiate into ductules o Alveolus = resting secretory unit o Acines = fully developed secretory unit of pregnancy and lactation o Lobules – develop during the first few years after menarche; alveolar buds cluster around a terminal duct · Tanner staging of breast development 7 Physiology Menstrual Cylce - follicular phase: increasing estrogen stimulates epithelial proliferation - luteal phase: mammary ducts dilate, alveolar epithelial cells differentiate into secretory cells, increased mammary blood flow, increased interlobular edema - breast engorgement and pain may occur – cyclic mastalgia Pregnancy - ductular, lobular and alveolar growth occurs – estrogen, progesterone, placental lactogen, chorionic gonadotropin, increasing levels of prolactin - breast enlargement significant at 5-8 weeks – dilatation of superficial veins, heaviness, increasing pigmentation of nipple-areolar complex - second half of pregnancy – increasing breast size from increasing dilatation of alveoli with colostrums and hypertrophy of myoepithelial cells, connective tissue and fat Lactation - triggered by sudden loss withdrawal of placental hormones with continued production of prolactin - prolactin, in presence of growth hormone, insulin and cortisol, converts mammary epithelial cells from presecretory to secretory state - milk ejection – activation of sensory nerve endings in nipple-areolar complex
