The same group, along with the pectoral group (related to the medial wall of the axilla, at the inferior border of the pectoralis minor), are usually the first to become diseased in malignant affections of the breast. When the disease is more advanced the posterior (subscapular) and the apical (subclavicular) groups are generally affected as well; and Rotter has shown that in a considerable porportion of cases diseased glands are to be found in the retro-pectoral fascia, between the pectoralis major and minor and, above the latter muscle, on the first intercostal space in relation to the supreme thoracic artery. In operating for malignant disease of the breast, the surgeon removes, in addition to the whole breast and the greater part of the skin over it, both pectoral muscles (with the exception of the clavicular fibres of the pectoralis major), Brachial arte Biceps tendon Brachio-radialis 7 Clavicle Anterior axillary fold Coraco-braehialis Deltoid '.
