amastia
Amastia is a rare medical condition characterized by the absence of one or both mammary glands, along with possible absence or underdevelopment of related tissues such as nipples or areolas. This condition can occur in both men and women, but is more noticeable in women due to societal norms regarding breast size. It can be congenital (present at birth) or related to a surgical procedure, trauma or disease. It may also be part of a broader syndrome. Treatment usually involves surgical reconstruction.

Amastia
Amastia refers to a condition where breast tissue, nipple, and areola is absent, either congenitally or iatrogenically. Amastia in girls can be treated with augmentation mammoplasty. Amastia differs from amazia, although the two conditions are often thought to be identical. The terms "amastia" and "amazia" are thus often used interchangeably, even though the two conditions are medically different.
