Medical Male Breast Exam
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that develops from the cells of
the breast. It is the most common type of cancer among women in
the United States. It is most often curable when found early. The
normal breast consists of three main components: the lobules
(milk-producing glands), the ducts (thin tubes that connect the
lobules to the nipple) and the stroma (fatty tissue and ligaments
surrounding the ducts and lobules, blood vessels, and lymphatic
vessels). About 80% of breast cancers start in the ducts.
About This Video
A brief narrated guide to the male breast examination: inspect for symmetry and for nipple or areola nodules and ulceration, palpate the areola, and if the breast is enlarged distinguish soft fat from the firm disc of glandular tissue — brief, the narration insists, but not to be omitted.
This video has no spoken narration, so there is no transcript. Educational content only — not medical advice.
