228/293 Foerster, Froriep, and Ried cite instances associated with thoracic malformation. Greenhow reports a case in which the mammae were absent, although there were depressed rudimentary nipples and areolae. There were no ovaries and the uterus was congenitally imperfect. Scanzoni has observed absence of the left mamma with absence of the left ovary. Excessive development of the mammae, generally being a pathologic phenomenon, will be mentioned in another chapter. |
