Q83.88: Other congenital malformations of breast

Your breast (mammary gland) does not have a normal appearance. This condition is congenital, which means you were born with it.

The breast is made up of fatty tissue, connective tissue and the mammary gland. Milk is produced in the mammary gland during and after pregnancy so that the child can be fed. Milk is dispensed through the nipple.

Your breast may be larger or smaller than normal. Your breast may also have an abnormal shape.
