What is the tale of spence in the anatomy of the breast?
The tail (not tale!) of Spence is the growth of extra mammary gland tissue growing from the breast towords the armpit. Sometimes the top of the tail is IN the armpit. When the woman is not pregnant or lactating, she won't notice the extra tissue. As the normal breasts are developing during pregnancy and in the first days after delivery, the tail will as well. The woman wil feel very uncomfortable with these lumps in het armpit! During lactating the tail will drain through the normal breast, so it is very necesary not to ware tight clothes. To comfort the area when engorged, put ice compresses (in a cloth against coldburn) on the affected area. A similar condition is a supernumary (accesory) breast. This kind of tissue has no connection with the normal positioned breast; it is a single breast. Sometimes there is a kind of a nipple on that extra breast but often it is not. Sometimes the milk comes out of the sweat gland openings so the breast drains itself; sometimes the milk will stagnate and the body regaines the milk, the tissue involutes and there will be atrophy of the tissue. Like in a woman that is not breastfeeding after giving birth. In both conditions, mastitis can occur. The extra tissue can be surgically removed, best after a lactation period.
