16
Q

cyst on imaging

A

ultrasound best way to delineate

17
Q

fat necrosis characteristics

A

usually after trauma or surgery
difficult from a malignancy on physical exam
-irregular borders, adherent to underlying tissue

18
Q

imaging of fat necrosis

A

mammography

may need to be biopsied to confirm not malignant

19
Q

nonproliferative fibrocystic changes

A

cells are normal in number and size

no increased risk for cancer in the future

20
Q

examples of nonproliferative fibrocystic changes

A
fibrocystic changes
fibrocystic disease
chronic cystic mastitis
mammary dysplasia
simple breast cysts
21
Q

proliferative fibrocystic changes without atypia

A

cells are normal in size but increased in number

slight increase in risk for future breast cancer (1.5-2x the general population)

22
Q

examples of proliferative fibrocystic changes without atypia

A
ductal hyperplasia
intraductal papillomas
sclerosing adenosis
radial scars
fibroadenomas
23
Q

atypical hyperplasia

A

cells are increased in number and are not normal

moderate increased risk of breast cancer (>2 times the general population)

24
Q

management of atypical hyperplasia

A

recommend risk reduction - yearly mammogram, avoid hormones, etc.

25
Q

examples of atypical hyperplasia

A

atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH)

atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH)

26
Q

differential for breast tenderness

A

galactocele
mastitis
breast abscess

27
Q

galactocele

A

cystic collection of retained milk, usually from an obstructed duct

28
Q

imaging for galactocele

A

US

29
Q

treatment of galactocele

A

drainage

30
Q

mastitis

A

localized inflammation of the breast that is associated with fever, myalgias, breast pain, and redness

31
Q

mastitis on physical exam

A

erythematous, tender area on breast, patient may be febrile

32
Q

treatment for mastitis

A

warm compresses
express milk frequently
DO NOT stop breast feeding

33
Q

breast abscess

A

similar causes as for mastitis

less common in breastfeeding mothers

34
Q

breast abscess on physical exam

A

discrete area of tenderness with fluctuance

35
Q

breast abscess on imaging

A

US if necessary

36
Q

treatment of breast abscess

A

antibiotics

may need I&D

37
Q

how to counsel a patient with dense breast tissue

A

increased risk of breast cancer: 4-5x
makes it difficult for radiologists to interpret mammograms
some recommend patients get supplemental screening with US and/or breast MRI
