Benign Epithelial Lesions Flashcards
Test 3
What common morphologic alteration is grouped under Fibrocytic changes?
nonproliferative breast changes
What does the clinican call lumpy bumpy, the radiologist calls dense breast with cysts and the pathologist calls a benign histologic finding?
Non-proliferative breast changes
The term Nonproliferative indicates what?
NOT associated with Increased risk of breast cancer
Fibrocystic change is MC in what age group?
younger than 50
What change is hormone mediated and has calcifications detectable by mammography?
Fibrocystic change
What is fibrosis and cysts in the breast?
fibrocystic change
What are the clinical features of Fibrocystic Change?
vague irregularity (lumpy breast) usually in upper outer qudrant
What cysts contains turbid fluid with Brown or Blue color and often have a Blue-Dome appearance?
Fibrocystic change gross exam
What is the prognosis of fibrocystic change aka nonproliferative breast changes?
Benign; no increased risk of cancer
PROliferative breast disease W/O Atypia is what type of mammographic finding?
incidental in a biopsy done for other reason
What proliferative breast lesions are NOT commonly found in genetic changes?
a. epithelial hyperplasia
b. sclerosing adenosis
c. complex sclerosing lesion
d. all the above
all the above
What is a predctor of risk but unlikely to be one for carcinoma?
proliferative breast disease w/o Atypia
What incidental finding increase in # of luminal and myoepithelial cell types fill with distend ducts and lobules?
Epithelial hyperplasia
Normal breast ducts and lobules are lined by a double layer of what and luminal cells? What is this condition?
myoepithlial
Epithelial Hyperplasia
on occasion stromal fibrosis may completely compress the lumen to create the histologic pattern that mimics invasive carcinoma?
Sclerosing Adenosis
Acini compressed and distored in centeral portion of lesion and can come to attention as a palable mass, radiologic density and calcification?
Sclerosing Adenosis
What has involved termal duct lobular units enlarged, acini compressed and is distorted by dese stroma?
Sclerosing adenosis
What is Unlike carcinomas, the acini are arranged in a swirling patter, and the outer border is well circumscribed?
Sclerosing adenosis
Complex sclerosing lesions have components of sclerosing adensosis, papillomas and what?
Epithlial hyperplasia
