Mammary gland adenocarcinoma

A mammary gland adenocarcinoma is a malignant (cancerous) growth of the glandular tissue affecting the mammary glands. One or more glands may be affected. They often metastasize (spread) to other areas of the body, commonly the lungs, but can spread to the liver and other abdominal organs.
