Conflicting impressions regarding the anatomy of Montgomery's areolar tubercle exist. Twelve modified radical mastectomy specimens provided 1,536 serial sections of areolar tubercles. In 34 of 35 tubercles (97%), a mammary lactiferous duct was associated with a sebaceous apparatus. This lactiferous duct ascended from deeper mammary parenchyma and entered the sebaceous gland. Histopathologic changes identified included featured of fibrocystic disease, atypical intraductal hyperplasia, and carcinoma in situ. Because the areolar tubercle has two components, a sebaceous gland and a mammary duct arising from deeper breast parenchyma, diseases of the breast may also involve the areola independent of papilla-nipple involvement. Areolar preservation may best be used with the knowledge that diseases underlying the areola may also involve the areola.
