Breast carcinoma is known to be one of the commonest malignant tumours among which Axillary breast cancer is a special individual that accounts for 0.1% to 2% of all cases of breast cancer. This is usually composed of poorly differentiated IDC with squamous or mesenchymal carcinoma areas sometimes. Axillary malignancy is difficult as there are many differential diagnoses that may require careful evaluation. This is a case report on Breast carcinoma of tail of Spence in axilla with skin involvement near nipple-areola complex whose histopathology was suggestive of infiltrating ductal carcinoma of axillary tail of Spence with mild dysplastic changes over right nipple-areola complex and high lymph node positivity (96.7%). Standard investigations like Ultrasonography of B/L Breast with Axilla and Tru-cut biopsy were done to reach the diagnosis of Intraductal Carcinoma (IDC) of the axillary tail.

Anatomy & Physiology of the Breast https://pathology.jhu.edu/breast/basics/overview 1/4 12/11/2018 Overview of the Breast - Breast Cancer | Johns Hopkins Pathology (en-US) The breast is an organ whose structure reects its special function: the production of milk for lactation (breast feeding). The epithelial component of the tissue consists of lobules, where milk is made, which connect to ducts that lead out to the nipple. Most cancers of the breast arise from the cells which form the lobules and terminal ducts. These lobules and ducts are spread throughout the background brous tissue and adipose tissue (fat) that make up the majority of the breast. The male breast structure is nearly identical to the female breast, except that the male breast tissue lacks the specialized lobules, since there is no physiologic need for milk production by males. Anatomically, the adult breast sits atop the pectoralis muscle (the "pec" chest muscle), which is atop the ribcage. The breast tissue extends horizontally (side-to-side) from the edge of the sternum (the rm at bone in the middle of the chest) out to the midaxillary line (the center of the axilla, or underarm). A tail of breast tissue called the "axillary tail of Spence” extend into the underarm area. This is important because a breast cancer can develop in this axillary tail, even though it might not seem to be located within the actual breast.

NORTH – NANSON CLINICAL MANUAL “The Red Book”
NORTH – NANSON CLINICAL MANUAL “The Red Book” 2017 8th Edition, updated (8.1) Medical Programme Directorate University of Auckland North – Nanson Clinical Manual 8th Edition (8.1), updated 2017 This edition first published 2014 Copyright © 2017 Medical Programme Directorate, University of Auckland ISBN 978-0-473-39194-2 PDF ISBN 978-0-473-39196-6 E Book ISBN 978-0-473-39195-9 PREFACE to the 8th Edition The North-Nanson clinical manual is an institution in the Auckland medical programme. The first edition was produced in 1968 by the then Professors of Medicine and Surgery, JDK North and EM Nanson. Since then students have diligently carried the pocket-sized ‘red book’ to help guide them through the uncertainty of the transition from classroom to clinical environment. Previous editions had input from many clinical academic staff; hence it came to signify the ‘Auckland’ way, with students well-advised to follow the approach described in clinical examinations. Some senior medical staff still hold onto their ‘red book’; worn down and dog-eared, but as a reminder that all clinicians need to master the basics of clinical medicine. The last substantive revision was in 2001 under the editorship of Professor David Richmond. The current medical curriculum is increasingly integrated, with basic clinical skills learned early, then applied in medical and surgical attachments throughout Years 3 and 4. Based on student and staff feedback, we appreciated the need for a pocket sized clinical manual that did not replace other clinical skills text books available. Attention focussed on making the information accessible to medical students during their first few years of clinical experience.

Cukurova Medical Journal
Cukurova Medical Journal Araştırma Makalesi / Research Article A Tale of Axillary Tail of Breast Memenin Aksiller Ucunun Hikayesi Smita Sankaye1, Sushil Ghanshyam Kachewar1 1Rural Medical College, PIMS(DU), Loni, Ta-Rahata, Ahmednagar Maharashtra, INDIA Cukurova Medical Journal 2014; 39 (3):540-545. ABSTRACT This original article tells the tale of the axillary tail of the breast. Human breast`s parenchymal extension into the axilla is known as the axillary tail of the breast. Normally, it remains confined as per the healthy individual’s body habitus. But sometimes it may become prominent and thereby a cause of tension. A plethora of findings have been reported to occur in an axillary tail. From toxoplasma to tumors, the list is comprehensive. Hence, each individual with a prominent axillary tail has its own tale to tell as has been explained in this article. Pathologists as well as Radiologists should be well aware of the various normal and abnormal entities affecting it, so that the distressed individual seeking assistance is properly managed. Key Words: Breast,Pathology,Axillary Tail,Mastopathy ÖZET Bu orjinal makale meme aksiller ucunun hikayesini anlatmaktadır. Koltuk altına ulaşan insan memesinin parenkimal uzantısı memenin aksiller ucu olarak bilinir. Normalde, sağlıklı insan vücudunun bir parçası olarak karşımıza çıkar ancak bazen önemli ve ayrıca tansiyon nedeni olabilmektedir. Bulguların çoğunun aksiller ucundan geldiği rapor edilmiştir. Toksoplazmadan tümörlere kadar oldukça kabarık bir liste bulunmaktadır. Bu yüzünden; çıkık aksiller uçlu her bireyin kendine özgü hikayesi bulunmaktadır. Radyologların yanı sıra patologların aksiller ucu etkileyen farklı normal ve anormal durumlardan haberleri olmalı ki bu konuda destek arayan sıkıntılı bireylerin doğru yönlendirilmeleri yapılabilsin.
