Q

What should asymmetric breast make you think about?

A

“Shrinking breast” of invasive lobular breast cancer.

If the size difference is new or the parenchyma looks asymmetrically dense, think cancer.

Q

How does breast tissue develop in response to hormones?

A

Enter puberty- ducts elongate and branch (estrogen effects), then their lobules proliferate (progesterone).

Biopsy a breast bud during development - damage and affect breast development.

Q

What happens to breast during Perimenopausal period?

A

Shortening of follicular phase = breast gets more progesterone exposure.

More progesterone = more breast pain, more fibrocystic change, and more breast cyst formation.

Q

What are round calcifications?

A

Develop in lobules - usually scattered, bilateral, and benign.

When benign, going to due to fibrocystic change.

Usually bilateral and symmetric (and benign). If clustered together by themselves, or new they may need to be worked up, just like a mass.

If clustered round calcs on the first mammogram - BR3 them.

T2 bright with type I (progressive) enhancement.

44
Q

What is a Phyllodes Tumor?

A

Benign with malignant degeneration risk of about 5-25%.

Fast growing breast mass.

Older age group than fibroadenoma (40s-50s)

45
Q

Distinguishing features of Phyllodes Tumor

A

Rapid Growth
Hematogenous Mets
Middle-age or older women
Mimics a fibroadenoma

46
Q

What are the IDC types (other than NOS)

A

Tubular: Small spiculated slow growing mass, with favorable prognosis. Often conspicuous on US. Associated with radial scar. Contralateral breast will have cancer 10-15% of the time.

Mucinous: Round (or lobulated) and circumscribed mass. Uncommon. Better outcomes than IDC-NOS.

Medullary: Round or oval circumscribed mass, without calcs. Axillary nodes can be large even in absence of mets. Typically younger (40-50s). Better outcome in IDC-NOS.

Papillary: Complex cystic and solid. Axillary nodes are NOT common. Typically elderly, favors people who are not white and is 2nd MC (behind IDC-NOS)

47
Q

What is Tubular Carcinoma?

A

IDC Type

Small spiculated slow growing mass, with favorable prognosis.

Often conspicuous on US. Associated with radial scar. Contralateral breast will have cancer 10-15% of the time.

48
Q

What is Mucinous Carcinoma?

A

IDC Type

Round (or lobulated) and circumscribed mass.

Uncommon. Better outcomes than IDC-NOS.

49
Q

What is Medullary Carcinoma?

A

IDC Type

Round or oval circumscribed mass, without calcs.

Axillary nodes can be large even in absence of mets. Typically younger (40-50s). Better outcome in IDC-NOS.

50
Q

What is Papillary Carcinoma?

A

IDC Type

Complex cystic and solid.

Axillary nodes are NOT common. Typically elderly, favors people who are not white and is 2nd MC (behind IDC-NOS)

51
Q

Difference between multifocal and multicentric breast cancer?

A

Multifocal: Multiple primaries in the same quadrant - classically same duct system

Multicentric: Multiple primaries in different quadrants.

52
Q

Triva on DCIS

A

10% on imaging may have invasive component at time of biopsy
25% on core biopsy may have an invasive component on surgical excision.
8% will present as a mass w/o calcs
MC US appearance = microlobulated mildly hypoechoic mass with ductal extension, and normal acoustic transmission.

53
Q

How will DCIS be shown?

A

Suspicious calcs (fine linear branching or fine pleomorphic)

Non mass like enhancement on MRI

Multiple intraductal masses on galactography.

54
Q

How does ILC progress?

A

Cell loses “e-cadherin” - cells no longer stick to one another and begin to infiltrage the breast “like the web of a spider” - infiltrative pattern does not cause a desmoplastic reaction so it gets missed on multiple mammos - architectural distortion w/o a central mass, on CC view only - dark scar.

55
Q

What is “shrinking breast”?

A

Buzzword for ILC

Breast isn’t actually smaller, just doesn’t compress as much

56
Q

What is “Dark Scar”?

A

Distortion w/o a central mass

DDx: lobular carcinoma, radial scar, surgical scar, and IDC-NOS

57
Q

ILC vs IDC

A

ILC is more often multifocal.

ILC less often mets to the axilla, likes to go to strange places like peritoneal surfaces.

ILC more often has positive margins and more often treated with mastectomy, although prognosis is similar to IDC.

58
Q

Things to know about ILC

A

Presents later than IDC
Older population
Often seen only on 1 view - CC, it compresses better
Calcs are less common than with ductal cancers
Mammo buzzword = Dark scar
Mammo Buzzword = shrinking breast
US buzzword = shadowing without mass
MRI - washout is less common than with IDC
Axillary mets are less common
Prognosis of IDC and ILC are similar
More often multifocal (compared to IDC)

59
Q

What is Paget’s Disease?

A

Carcinoma in situ of the nipple epidermis.

~50% of the time will have a palpable finding associated with skin changes.

60
Q

Things to know about Pagets

A

Associated with high grade DCIS
Wedge biopsy should be done of any skin lesion that affect the nipple-areolar complex that doesn’t resolve with topical therapy
Pagets is NOT considered T4. Skin involvement does not up stage in this setting.

61
Q

What are the 5 classic high risk lesions that must come out after biopsy?

A 
Radial Scar
Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia
Atypical Lobular Hyperplasia
LCIS
Papilloma
62
Q

What is a Radial Scar?

A

Not an actual scar, but looks like one on histology. Have a bunch of dense fibrosis around the ducts giving the appearance of architectural distortion (dark scar)

High risk and has to come out
Associated with DCIS and/or ICD
Associated with Tubular Carcinoma.

63
Q

What is Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia?

A

DCIS but lacks quantitative definition by histology (<2 ducts involved)

Comes out b/c its high risk and b/c DCIS burden is often underestimated when its presents.

30% of the time, surgical path will be upgraded to DCIS.

64
Q

What is LCIS?

A

Classically occult on mammogram - “incidental finding”.

Can be a precursor to ILC, but isn’t obligated to be. Risk of conversion to an invasive cancer is less when compared to DCIS to IDC.

65
Q

What is Atypical Lobular Hyperplasia (ALH)?

A

Very similar to LCIS, but separated based if the lobule is distended or not - yes in LCIS, no in ALH.

Considered mild to LCIS (risk of subsequent cancer is 4-6x higher with ALH and 11x higher with LCIS).

Excision.

66
Q

What do you need to call multiple masses?

A

Need multiple (at least 3) bilateral well circumscribed masses w/o suspicious features.

BIRADS 2.

Multiple unilateral masses won’t work- need to be bilateral.

67
Q

What is treatment of inflammatory breast cancer?

A

Chemo and/or radiation, then surgery.

68
Q

What is the most suspicous nipple discharge?

A

Spontaneous, bloody from a single duct.

Serous discharge is also suspicious.

Milky discharge is NOT suspicious, but can be secondary to thyroid issues or pituitary adenoma (prolactinoma). Any medication that messes with dopamine can stimulate prolactin production - antidepressants, neuroleptis, reglan.

69
Q

Benign and Worrisome causes of non-milky nipple discharge?

A

Benign:
Pre-menopausal - fibrocystic change
Post-menopausal - ductal ectasia

Worrisome:
Intraductal papilloma - single intraductal mas near nipple
DCIS - multiple intraductal masses.

70
Q

What is ductal ectasia?

A

MC benign cause of nipple discharge in a post menopausal woman.

Galactography will see dilated ducts near the subareolar region with progressive attenuation more posterior.

71
Q

What does harmonics do to breast lesions?

A

Can make it easier to see some lesions, but can make you lose your posterior features, especially when they are soft to start with - like the shadowing of an ILC>

Harmonics can also make not so simple cysts look simple.

72
Q

Things to know about architectural distortion

A 
Radiating lines to a single point
AD + calcs = ICD + DCIS
AD without calcs = ILC
Even if no US or MRI correlate = biopsy
Never BIRADS 3 an area of AD
ILC can grow slow
Surgical scars should get less dense with time, not more dense.
73
Q

How are axillary lymph nodes treated?

A

Level 1 and 2 are treated the same

Rotter nodes are treated as Level 2

Level 3 and supraclavicular nodes are treated the same.

74
Q

What pathology can men NOT get?

A

No elongated and branching ducts or proliferated lobules that women have.

Do NOT get lobule associated pathology, lobular carcinoma, fibroadenoma, or cysts.

75
Q

Patterns of gynecomastia

A

Nodular (MC)- Flame shaped centered behind the nipple, radiating posterior as it blends into fat. Breast is often tender. Usually lasts less than 1 year.

Dendritic - Resembles a branching tree. This is a chronic fibrotic pattern. Usually not tender.

Diffuse glandular - Looks like woman’s breast - diffuse increase in density. You see this in men receiving estrogen treatment.

76
Q

Risk factors for male breast cancer

A

BRCA 2
Klinefelter Syndrome
Cirrhosis
Chronic alcoholism

Eccentric, but near the nipple.
Almost always ICD-NOS type. DCIS can occur, but very rare in isolation.

77
Q

Should men get screening mammograms?

A

Controvercial. Only Klinefelter patients approach the screening range with regards to risk

Males with gynecomastia from gender reassignment on hormone therapy are not high enough risk for screening mammogram.

78
Q

What is breast implant capsular contracture?

A

MC complication of implants. Secondary to contraction of the fibrous capsule, can result in cosmetic deformity - seen in both silicone and saline implants - MC in subglandular silicone implants.

On mammo, looks like rounding or distortion of the implant - comparisons show progression.

79
Q

What is Gel Bleed with implants?

A

1 risk for rupture is age.

Silicone molecules can (and do) pass through the semi-permeable implant shell coating the exterior surface.

Does NOT mean the implant is ruptured.

Show you silicone in the axillary LN - does NOT mean rupture.

80
Q

Signs of Intracapsular Implant Rupture

A

Stepladder Sign - Seen on US. Multiple parallel echogenic lines w/in the sonolucent silicone.

Linguine Sign - Seen on MRI. Curvy low signal line w/in the implant. Basically the shell floating in the silicone (with the fibrous shell holding the silicone together)

Keyhole Sign/Noose Sign/Inverted Teardrop Sign - Seen on MRI. Silicone on both sides of a radial fold - associated with Gel Bleed.

Salad Oil Sign - Seen on MRI. Caused by rupture of the inner lumen of a double-lumen implant (causes saline and silicone to rupture).

Subcapsular Line Sign - Seen on MRI. Silicone adjacent to both surfaces of the ruptured shell.

81
Q

What are Radial Folds?

A

Normal infoldings of the elastomer shell. Primary mimic for linguine sign of intracapsular rupture.

Radial folds should always connect with the periphery of the implant - linguine sign does not.

82
Q

When should the first mammogram be done after biopsy?

A

6-12 months

Distortion and scarring should be worst on this film and should progressively improve.

On US, scars are supposed to be thin and linear. If focal mass like thickening in the scar - call it suspicious.

Fat necrosis and benign dystropic calcs may evolve over the first year or two and are the major mimics of recurrence. Fat necrosis can be shown on MR (T1/T2 bright, and then fat sat drops it out).

83
Q

Facts about local recurrence

A

Local recurrence occurs 6-8% of the time with breast conserving therapy- w/o radiation is closer to 35%.

Peak time is 4 years.

75% of DCIS will come back as calcs - Benign calcs tend to come back early (2 years) vs the cancer ones which come back around 4 years.

84
Q

What are the T stages of breast cancer?

A 
T1 = <2 cm
T2 = 2-5 cm
T3 = >5 cm
T4 = any size with chest wall fixation, skin involvement, or inflammatory breast CA

Pagets is NOT T4.

85
Q

Contraindications for Breast Conservation

A 
Inflammatory Cancer
Large cancer size relative to breast
Multi-centric (multiple quadrants)
Prior Radiation therapy
Contraindication to radiation therapy (Collage-vascular disease)
86
Q

Who gets a screening MRI?

A

Lifetime risk of 20-25%
Includes people who got 20 Gy of radiation to the chest as a child.

Estimated using risk of models that includes family history (NOT the Gail model)
Pick the Tyrer-Cuzick model

87
Q

What does Tamoxifen do to parenchymal enhancement?

A

Will decrease background parenchyma uptake. Then cause it to REBOUND.

88
Q

Classic for fibroadenoma on MRI

A

T2 bright, round, with “non-enhancing septa”, and a type 1 curve

89
Q

Classic for DCIS on MRI

A

Clumped, ductal, linear or segmental non-mass like enhancement.

Kinetics are typically not helpful.

90
Q

Classic for IDC on MRI

A

Spiculated irregular shaped masses with heterogeneous enhancement and a type 3 curve.

91
Q

What type of cancer is T2 bright on MRI?

A

Colloid and mucinous cancer

Usually T2 bright = benign. Cysts, LN, fat necrosis, fibroadenoma.

92
Q

Single most predictive feature of malignancy on MRI

A

Spiculated margins

If you have known breast cancer- find contralateral CA 0.1-2% via mammo and 3-5% by MRI.

Never BIRADS 0 an MRI.

93
Q

Who makes the MQSA standards?

A

USDA

Medical audit and outcome analysis once per year.

F/u positive mammo and correlate pathology with biopsy results. Have to grade the biopsy with the risk category

94
Q

MQSA recall rate

A

Less than 10%

Must provide written results in language they can easily understand.

Consumer complaint mechanism is required to be established.

Patients can obtain their original mammograms, not compies, when needed.

95
Q

Trivia for Quality control

A

The “interpreting physician” is ultimately responsible for QC

Resolution = 13 lp/mm in anode to cathode direction and 11 lp in the left right direction

Pass: 4 fibers, 3 microcalc clusters, and 3 masses + “acceptable artifacts”

Dose to phantom is 3 mGy per image (+ grid)- 50% glandularity, 4.2 cm thick. NO PATIENT DOSE IN MAMMO- ONLY PHANTOM.

Typical average breast = compressed to 6 cm, glandularity of 15-20%.

Digital system generally use higher beam qualities which results in lower dosese.

Digital mammo does not use fixed dose (Screen-film); can use as much (or as little) radiation as deemed appropriate.
