Breast Pathology

The S230.40 Breast Palpation Simulator's
six interchangeable breasts include a variety
of different pathologies for training of breast
examination. An assortment of malignant
and benign tumors is included within both the
mammary and axilla regions.

DESCRIPTION OF INCLUDED BREASTS

1. Right Breast #1: Normal
2. Left Breast #1: This breast represents (in a
slightly exaggerated form) various stages of
fibrocystic disease (chronic mastitis) which
is due to an endocrine imbalance and may
be found in many normal women. There are
six discreet fibrocystic nodes on the lower
outer quadrant and a somewhat larger node
on the upper inner quadrant. Two additional
malignant tumors can also be palpated in the
upper, outer quadrant; one resulting from an
enlarged lymph node.
