English: The mechanism of amastia. Amastia occurs as a result of failed development of the mammary ridge, which impairs the formation of mesoderm. Mesoderm then fails to give rise to lobules and pits, causing absence of breast tissue and nipple. The cause can be iatrogenic or congenital. Other syndomes can also contribute to it.
