From MediXL: A breast examination consists of inspection and palpation of the breasts to identify abnormalities. Some breast examinations are focused on specific issues while others are more general. Although there are many good ways to examine the breasts, one of them will be presented here. The breasts may be examined while the patient is sitting or reclining. Sometimes it may be desirable to do both. With the patient in a sitting position, inspect the breasts visually. While generally symmetrical, most breasts are slightly asymmetrical in respect to size, shape, orientation, and position on the chest wall. Inspect for: * Visible masses (change in contour) * Skin dimpling * Nipple retraction * Redness
