a galactocele is a cystic dilatation of ___ during ___
a galactocele is a cystic dilatation of obstructed duct during lactation
the condition seen in the image is caused by an ____ response to ____
the condition seen in the image is caused by an exaggerated response to estrogen
the origin of the condition seen in the image is the ____
the origin of the condition seen in the image is the terminal duct lobular unit
describe the 2 types of the condition seen in the image
- simple/non-proliferative = no malignant potential
-
proliferative = epithelial hyperplasia → malignant potential
- ductal = one duct is proliferating
- lobular = all ducts in lobule are proliferating
- sclerosing adenosis = fibrosis of INTRAlobular stroma & pathological adenosis of terminal duct lobular unit
in the condition seen in the image, women of ____ age present with ____
in the condition seen in the image, women of reproductive age present with bilateral cyclical mastalgia (pain during menstrual cycle)
on physical exam of a patient with the condition in the image, the breast would feel ____
on physical exam of a patient with the condition in the image, the breast would feel “lumpy bumpy”
on biopsy of the simple form of the condition in the image, there is ____
on biopsy of the simple form of the condition in the image, there is double layer of cells; ducts are distended & apocrine metaplasia with eosinophilic cytoplasm
on biopsy of the proliferative form of the condition seen in the image, what is seen?
- proliferative: inner cuboidal cells (respond to estrogen) → multilayering
on transillumination of a specific type of the condition seen in the image, ____ can be seen
on transillumination of a specific type of the condition seen in the image, blue-domed cyst can be seen
in the condition seen in the image, mammography may show ___
in the condition seen in the image, mammography may show microcalcification in concretions of secretions or necrosis of epithelial cells (potentially mistaken for carcinoma)
____ can clinically and histologically mimic carcinoma
(seen in the image)
sclerosing adenosis can clinically and histologically mimic carcinoma
acute mastitis usually occurs when ____ and is usually caused by ____
acute mastitis usually occurs when breastfeeding and is usually caused by Staph (small localized, under nipple)
acute mastitis can also be less commonly caused by ____ which causes ____ and heals (with or without?) a scar
acute mastitis can also be less commonly caused by Strep which causes inflammation of the whole breast with marked swelling/tenderness
heals without a scar
describe the pathogenesis of duct ectasia
what occurs after healing?
inspissated secretion → dilatation → rupture, causing plasma cells, histiocytes, giant cells, granulomas
after healing = induration, nipple retraction
the condition seen in the image is derived from ____ which are lined by ____
the condition seen in the image is derived from lactiferous ducts which are lined by inner cuboidal & outer myoepithelial cells
describe the presentation of the condition seen in the image
unilateral sub-areolar mass with serous/bloody discharge in women 35-55 years old
