EMBRYOLOGY, DEVELOPMENT, AND PHYSIOLOGY
1. The mammary gland is derived from which of the following cell lines?
C. Ectoderm.
The mammary glands form from ingrowths of ectoderm that become lactiferous glands and ducts. Around weeks 6 to 7 of gestation, the milk ridge develops beginning with 15 to 20 buds that then undergo apoptosis to leave a single pair of buds at the fourth or fifth intercostal space. The nipple develops with surrounding circular smooth muscle fibers derived from mesoderm.

EMBRYOLOGY, DEVELOPMENT, AND PHYSIOLOGY
2. A 19-year-old female presents with complete absence of the right breast and nipple. She has no abnormalities
of her extremities or pectoralis muscle. Her chest wall is in good position and size. Which of the following terms best describes the anatomic variation?
A. Amastia.
There are several congenital breast anomalies that the plastic surgeon should be familiar with. Amastia is the congenital absence of both the breast and the nipple. Patients with amazia haveabsenceof the breast but pres­ence of a nipple, and those with athelia have presence of a breast, but absence of the nipple. Patients with Poland syndrome will have an absent or hypoplasticbreast, as well as other anomalies of other chest wall com­ponents including the latissimus dorsi, ribs, and serratus muscle, among others. The most common limb abnormality is brachysyndactyly on the affected side. Treatment is typically with a tissue expander initially, followed by a submuscular implant and latissimus dorsi flap after the contralateral breast stops growing. Anterior thoracic hypoplasia presents with unilateral sunken anterior chest wall, hypoplasia of the breast, superiorly placed nipple-areola complex, normal pectoralis muscle, and normalsternalposition.

3. A 20-year-old female presents with complaints of polymastia. Which is the most likely area of accessory breast
tissue found on examination?
C. Lower lateral chest wall.
Accessory breast t issue (supernumerary breast, polymastia) is common. Polymastia most commonly presents along the mammary line, with the most common location along the lateral inframammary fold. Another common location is the groin. Patients will present with cyclical pain as this breast tissue is responsive to hormonal influence. Treatment is surgical excision.

4. A young female patient is brought in by her parents regarding concerns of breast asymmetry. She has absence
of any breast tissue but presence of the nipple of one side of her chest. On the contralateral chest, she has presence of glandular tissue and areolar pigmentation with a secondary mound formed by the nipple above the level of the breast. What stage of breast development is this patient by the Tanner classification?
D. 4.
The Tanner scale (Tanner stages) is a scale of physical development in children based on external primary and secondary sex characteristics. The patient in this question has development of subareolar breast tissue with a second mound formed by the nipple and areola above the level of the breast which occurs in Tanner stage 4 breasts. In Tanner stage 5 breasts, the areola returns to the contour of the surrounding breast with a central projecting papilla. Tanner stage 3 breasts have elevation of the breast mound; however, the areola remains in contour with the surrounding breast.

5. A 5-year-old girl's parents are concerned as their daughter has started to develop breasts. Upon examination,
the patient has bilateral stage 4 Tanner breast development but no other signs of puberty or skeletal matura­tion. This patient's condition is best represented by which of the following?
A. Premature thelarche.
Premature thelarche occurs when breast development starts before the age of 8 years without evidence of other signs of puberty including pubic hair or vaginal mucosal thickening. Symptoms are typically bilateral and end after 3 to 5 years. In Poland syndrome there will be an absent or hypoplastic breast, as well as other anomalies of other chest wall components including the latissimus dorsi, ribs, and serratus muscle, among others. Jeune syndrome presents with a narrow, immobile breast and renal disease. Supernumerary breast is accessory mammary tissue forming along the embryonic milk line (axilla to groin).

VASCULAR SUPPLY
6. During a mastectomy, which of the following vessels is the most critical to preserve perfusion to the skin and
nipple-areola complex?
A. 2nd internal mammary artery perforator.
The soft tissue of the breast has a rich vascular supply through a diffuse subdermal plexus that communicates with underlying deeper vessels supplying the breast parenchyma. These vessels include perforators from the lateral thoracic artery, thoracoacromial, intercostal, internal mammary, and thoracodorsal vessels. The 2nd and 3rd interspace perforators of the internal mammary are typically the dominant blood supply to the breast skin and nipple-areola complex and should be preserved during mastectomy and reconstruction to minimize the risk of ischemic complications of the skin envelope.

INNERVATION
7. Which of the following nerves primarily supplies sensation to the nipple-areolar complex?
C. T4 branch of intercostal nerve.
The breast has a dermatomal innervation supplied by the anterior and lateral cutaneous branches of the T2–T6 (primarily T3–T5) intercostal nerves. The supraclavicular nerves of the cervical plexus also provide innervation
Chapter 51&Breast Anatomy 391
to the upper and lateral portions of the breast. The nipple-areolar complex is primarily supplied by the T4 branch. The lateral branch usually runs deep along the pectoral fascia while the anterior cutaneous branch runs superficially, and therefore is the only preserved branch after a mastectomy is performed.

SKIN AND PARENCHYMA
8. A 63-year-old female presents for consultation for mastopexy. On examination, she has deflated breasts, with
grade III ptosis of the nipple bilaterally. Attenuation of which of the following structures is responsible for this presentation?
D. Cooper's ligaments.
The breast parenchyma extends from the second to seventh ribs and from the sternocostal junction to midaxillary line with an additional extension into the axilla. The breast parenchyma is enveloped by a superficial layer of superficial fascia as well as a deep layer of the superficial fascia. The inframammary fold at the lower border of the breast is the fusion of the deep and superficial fascia with the dermis and is a zone of adherence. Cooper's ligaments are fibrocollagenous septa that penetrate the deep layer of the superficial fascia through breast parenchyma to the dermis. It is the attenuation of these ligaments that results in breast ptosis.

UNDERLYING MUSCULATURE
9. Which of the following muscles is used as a landmark to identify different nodal zones during an axillary dissection?
B. Pectoralis minor.
The pectoralis minor muscle originates on the surfaces of the third through sixth ribs and inserts onto the coracoid process of the scapula to draw the scapula inferiorly and anteriorly. This muscle serves as a landmark during axillary dissection as its lateral margin divides the superficial from the deep axillary nodes. The majority of lymph nodes from the breast drain into the axillary lymph node basin and are classified as Level I, lateral to the lateral border of the pectoralis minor; level II, behind the pectoralis minor and below the axillary vein; and level III, medial to the medial border of the pectoralis minor.

BREAST EXAMINATION
10. A 43-year-old female presents for consultation for reduction mammoplasty. At which time is it most comfort-
able for the patient to perform a full breast examination?
E. Postmenstrual phase.
The breast examination and patient's breast symptoms change with the menstrual cycle. The follicular phase (days 4–14) involves mitosis and proliferation of breast epithelial cells. In the luteal phase (days 5–28), the mammary ducts dilate and estrogen increases blood flow to the breast. The breast involutes with decrease in circulating hormones during menstruation. Breast engorgement and sensitivity peaks during the premenstrual phase and hits a nadir around 5 to 7 days after menstruation at which point palpation is most sensitive for detecting masses and the breast examination is most comfortable for the patient.

7. What is an advantage to using textured implants over smooth implants?
C. Lower contracture rate.
Textured implants have lower contracture rates due to surface disorienting collagen deposition. It also has less migration and implant rotation, which make intraoperative positioning of implant critical as textured surface resists migration or movement in pocket. Smooth implants form thinner capsules and are less palpable. Textured implants require precise pocket dissection, are more palpable, develop traction rippling more commonly, and have a greater association with breast implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) based on current data.
