- Mole
-Mass
-Nipple - Lymph Node Seen on CC
- Cause of articular distortion
A
- Scar = Dash
Mole = Circle
Mass/Lump = Triangle
Nipple = BB
(if miss-marked can lead to misdiagnoses) - Intra-mammolary (in tissue / not above)
- Masses, Scars, Skin Folds, Cooper Ligaments
13
Q

A
- IMF, Nipple in profile, pec in profile
- NO Folds
-> Superior and Inferior - Nipple in profile, Pec in profile
- NO Folds
-> Lateral & Medial
-> Posterior & Anterior - Lateral move inferiorly
Medial move superiorly
Muffin rise, lead falls
