“…Each lobe is separated by dense interlobar connective tissue. Over time, lactiferous ducts emerge from each lobe on the surface of the breast papillae [16]. As adults, the breasts of women who are not pregnant will show a lot of connective tissue and also a few glands.…”

Fibroadenoma mammae is a benign tumor in the breast that can grow in women aged 14-35 years. FAM has a solid mass with a rubbery consistency, is well-defined, and has low cellularity cells. FAM is classified as a benign tumor but can increase the risk of breast cancer by as much as 2.17 times. There are at least 10% of women in the world have FAM lumps. Jakarta Breast Center reported 1,971 out of 2,495 patients suffering from benign FAM tumors. FAM incidents are increasing yearly, and the concerns are often misinterpreted as malignancy. Until now, the cause of FAM cannot be known with certainty. Several risk factors have been identified, such as family genetics, age, hormones, radiation exposure, and contraceptive use. This study aims to determine the profile of FAM sufferers at the MRCCC Siloam Semanggi Hospital in 2019-2020. The research was conducted by total sampling method using anatomic pathology archives. Research on 131 patient records found that the largest age group occurred at 16-30 years, with as many as 68 patients (51.9%). Based on the location of the breast, most FAM lumps were found on the right side in 58 patients (44.3%), with the majority having one lump in 92 patients (70.2%). The most commonly found FAM was > 6cm in 52 patients (39.7%), with the most commonly found consistency being supple in 102 patients (77.9%), and all of them had clear boundaries in 131 patients (100%). Women with risks and suspicions of breast lumps are expected to do early detection with the BSE procedure.

“…The lobes, lobules, and the bulbs are all connected by thin tubes called ducts, which connect in the nipple, and fat fills the spaces between the lobules and the ducts [44,45]. Figure 4 shows a graphic diagram with the different structures in a real breast [46]. With respect to affixing the prosthesis, which will be in contact with the wearer's thoracic wall, spheres were added to the back of the 3D model to allow air to circulate between the thoracic wall and the prosthesis.…”

Figure 4 shows a graphic diagram with the different structures in a real breast [46]. In the inner part of the prosthesis, which is one of the main contributions of this work, an internal biomimetic structure was incorporated (not considered in any prosthesis); that is, it resembles the internal structure of a real breast, since the internal structure directly affects the mechanical behavior of the prosthesis [15].…”

Figure 4 shows a graphic diagram with the different structures in a real breast [46]. This work sought to imitate the lobular arrangement in a real breast; consequently, a structure was proposed that emulates the bundle of lobes found in the internal structure of the breast.…”

A Biomimetic Approach for Designing a Full External Breast Prosthesis: Post-Mastectomy

This work presents the design of a new breast prosthesis using the biomimetic technique for cases of complete mastectomy to address the problem of the increasing number of women diagnosed with breast cancer in Mexico who are candidates for a mastectomy. The designed prosthesis considers the morphology of a real breast regarding its internal structure to obtain authentic mobility and feel. In order to accomplish this, a model was obtained in 3D CAD using a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) that can be scalable without losing its qualities, and which can be used in any type of patient; afterwards, a finite element model was developed and a static analysis performed with suggested load cases to evaluate the sensitivity and naturalness of the prosthesis; and finally, a modal analysis was conducted. The results obtained in displacements and in distribution of stress for the load cases assessed are consistent with those of a real breast: there were smooth contours and there was natural mobility in the prosthesis designed by means of the biomimetic technique.

“…With these vital functions of the breast, it is important for the radiologist to understand the normal anatomy and physiology of it, in order to be able to identify abnormalities which may occur [1]. Even though ultrasound technique has been thought to be the best technique for the detection of breast abnormalities, it has been recorded by researches that, in the last few years a number of radiologists have experienced problems in distinguishing between normal and pathological changes in the breast based on age by ultrasound procedure [2].…”
