L56 female breast and chest wall: milk-giving right breast with representation of an inflammation
(mastitis) and non-milk-giving left breast with representation of various diseases
The model consists of a milk-giving female right breast with the surrounding chest wall area and a non-
milk-giving female left breast with the surrounding chest wall area. Both parts of the model have a sagittal
cut. The cut surfaces show the tissue of the breast gland as well as the deeper-lying anatomical structures
such as the muscles, ribs, costal pleura, pulmonary pleura and lungs. A breast gland inflammation (masti-
tis) is represented on the right breast and various other diseases on the left breast.
The right breast and chest wall are separated into two halves by a sagittal cut in the mammary line and
these are held together by magnets. The cut area of the right half shows healthy breast tissue while the cut
area of the left half shows the changes to the breast gland when inflamed (mastitis). The exterior of this
half shows the associated pathological changes that are visible from the exterior.
The left breast and chest wall are divided into three parts by a sagittal cut in the mammary line and an
additional internal sagittal cut next to the areola and these are held together by magnets.
At the external part of the breast, the skin of the breast is windowed to view the regional lymph nodes. The
cut surface of this half show the healthy anatomical structures. The cut surfaces of the middle breast cut
show the various diseases of the breast gland. A benign tumour (fibroadenoma) and 2 cysts are represented
on the external cut surface. The inner cut surface shows a pathological proliferation of the breast connec-
tive tissue (mastopathy).
Two malignant tumours are represented in the breast gland on the cut surface of the inner part of the bre-
ast. One of these has extended into the chest wall.
L56 A
Milk-giving female right breast with representation of inflammation (mastitis)
The model shows a female right breast and the surrounding chest wall area. A sagittal cut in the mammary
line divides the model into two halves. These are held together with magnets. The cut surfaces of both hal-
ves of the model show the tissue of the breast gland as well as the deeper-lying anatomical structures such
as the muscles, ribs, costal pleura, pulmonary pleura and lungs. The cut area of the right half shows heal-
thy breast tissue while the cut area of the left half shows the changes to the breast gland when inflamed
(mastitis). The exterior of these two halves of the model shows the associated pathological changes that are
visible from the exterior.
L56 B
Non-milk-giving female left breast with representation of various diseases
The model shows a non-milk-giving female left breast and the surrounding chest wall area. A sagittal cut
in the mammary line and an additional internal sagittal cut next to the areola divides the model into
three parts. These are held together with magnets. All cut surfaces of the model parts show the tissue of
the breast gland as well as the deeper-lying anatomical structures such as the muscles, ribs, costal pleura,
pulmonary pleura and lungs.
At the outer part of the model, the skin of the breast is windowed to view the regional lymph nodes. The
cut surface of this half of the breast shows the healthy anatomical structures.
The cut surfaces of the middle cut of the breast show the various diseases of the breast gland. A benign
tumour (fibroadenoma) and 2 cysts are represented on the external cut surface. The inner cut surface
shows a pathological proliferation of the breast connective tissue (mastopathy).
Two malignant tumours are shown in the breast gland on the cut surface of the inner part of the model.
One of these has extended into the chest wall.
