resonance: The loud, low-pitched percussion note elicited over normal lung tissue rhonchus, rhonchi: Coarse, rattling, abnormal breath sounds; often change location after coughing stridor: Abnormal lateral curvature of the spine tactile fremitus: Palpable vocal vibrations felt through the chest wall; increased over areas of consolidation; decreased over obstructed areas and pleural abnormalities wheezes: Abnormal, high-pitched, continuous breath sounds; associated with airway obstruction bradycardia: A slow (100 beats/min) heart rate thrill: Palpable vibrations produced by turbulent blood flow gynecomastia: Hypertrophy of breast tissue; associated with liver cirrhosis, Addison’s disease, Klinefelter’s syndrome, and some medications (e.g., spironolactone) mastodynia: Painful breasts peau d’orange: Breast skin with an orange-peel appearance (prominent pores); indicates lymphatic obstruction and is an important sign of malignancy retraction: Dimpling of the skin, nipple retraction or inversion...
