Abstract
The mammary glands are modified skin glands, which are commonly affected by a variety of pathological conditions. The mammary glands are functionally related to hormone secretion from the ovaries, such that there may be an effect upon the mammary gland when there is ovarian pathology. The chapter considers normal anatomy and physiology; clinical approach; mammary gland diseases.
