(wedge shaped distribution)
Tender painful hot red swollen breast +
systemic Sx (eg. rigours, fevers, headache)

22
Q

Dx of mastitis?

A

clinical Hx and exam
+/- milk MC+S

23
Q

Tx for lactational mastitis?

A

Flucoxacillin/erythromycin

Q

Can a mum continue to breastfeed while having mastitis?

A

Yes

26
Q

what is mammary duct ectasia?

A

A milk duct beneath the nipple widens. The duct walls may thicken and fill with fluid, becoming blocked or clogged with a sticky substance. Inflammation and dilation of the large breast ducts occurs

27
Q

Sx of mammary duct ectasia?

A

Sticky brown/green nipple discharge (clogged ducts)

28
Q

Dx and Tx of mammary duct ectasia?

A

Dx = triple assessment
Tx = watch and wait

29
Q

What is mammary dysplasia?

A

It is Sx due to an increase in the number of cells or by the growth of abnormal cells in the breast ducts or lobes

30
Q

Typical Px with mammary dysplasia?

A

40-45 y/o with ‘lumpy grain of rice’ breasts
Bilateral fibrocystic changes (cysts in breasts)
Cyclical mastalgia (breast pain linked to periods)

31
Q

Tx for mammary dysplasia?

A

Supportive bra
NSAIDS
COCP?

32
Q

Phyllodes tumour
Typical Px and Sx?

A

30-40y/o
rapidly growing fibroadenoma (shiny skin, erythema)

33
Q

Phyllodes tumour
How many develop into cancer and which type?
what is seen on biopsy?

A

10% sarcomas
leaf like architecture on biopsy

34
Q

What is an intraductal papilloma?

A

A benign, wart-like tumors that grow within the milk ducts of the breast

35
Q

Typical Px and Sx of an intraductal papilloma?

A

35-55 y/o with bloody-watery nipple discharge

36
Q

Dx and Tx for intraduct papilloma?

A

Urgent Triple assessment

Surgery

37
Q

What is fat necrosis In breasts?

A

Death of adipose tissue within the breast, after trauma, typically leading to the formation of a lump

38
Q

What is pages disease of the breast?

A

Nipple eczema persisting after 2+ weeks steroid/anti fungals
Subareolar mass most of the time

(Presence of cancer cells in the skin of the nipple. This disease often suggests an underlying ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive breast cancer)

Q

Sx of pages disease of the breast?

A

Nipple and areolar eczema, then rest of breast +/- straw coloured discharge, nipple inversion

Painful and red nipple

40

Dx for pagets of the breast?
what will be detected?

A

Triple assessment
+ve for paget cells
(90% HER2 Positive)

Q

Tx for pagets?

A

like breast ca, mastectomy or wide local excision

42

What are the 2 types of breast reconstruction?

A

external and internal

43
Q

what is external reconstruction?

A

Put shaped mould in bra so appear normal in clothes

A

Implant and expander
latissimus dorsi flap and implant

45
Q

what are 3 complications of silicone implants?

A

-Rupture

-Capsular contractures
(harden breast around implant)

-BIA-ALCL - REMOVE ASAP [1:20,000 risk]
