MORPHOLOGY OF ANOGENITAL MAMMARY-LIKE GLANDS

https://doi.org/10.21638/11701/spbu11.2017.107Abstract
Mammary-like glands represent a normal constituent of the anogenital area, mainly located in the sulcus between the labia minora and majora. Benign and malignant lesions involving these glands manifest a striking similarity to their mammary counterparts. Discussed are their normal anatomy and histology. Mammary-like glands have features of mammary and sweat glands. Their excretory ducts open to the epidermal surface and contain Toker cells. Refs 55. Figs 4. Table 1.
