Abstract
For examination of the mammary glands the history and physical examination must be concerned with more than these glands alone. Both the form and the function of the mammary glands are very dependent on the stage of the estrous cycle and so this must also be taken into consideration. In addition, abnormalities of the mammary glands include neoplastic growth which can spread and have far-reaching consequences.
