Breast Disease - Tieman Flashcards
most common breast mass in young women
fibroadenoma
<30yo
benign
firm, moveable, non-tender
fibroadenoma diagnosis
U/S
FNA helpful - but can’t distinguish from phyllodes
giant fibroadenoma
> 5cm
tx of fibroadenoma
may be watched, excised, or treated with cryoablation
phyllodes tumor
stroma grows rapidly and tumor becomes large
may be benign or malignant - depends on mitotic rate and histo
malignant - tx - wide local excision or mastectomy
fibrocystic breast disease
cyst may be painless - multiple painful are common
35-55yo
fluctuate with menstrual cycle
fluctuate with menstrual cycle
fibrocystic breast disease
areas of fibrosis in ducts with destruction and dilation of terminal ductules and lobules
fill with cystic fluid
tx fibrocystic breast disease
aspiration
if recur - may be reaspirated
bloody aspirate - examine it
bilateral diffuse cyclical breast pain
fibrocystic breast disease
U/S - multiple small cysts
mammography - dense tissue - without mass
increased risk of fibrocystic breast disease
caffeine
chocolate
alcohol
tx of fibrocystic breast disease
support bra analgesica avoid trauma danazol, tamoxifen - if severe primrose oil low fat diet vit E
sclerosing adenosis
proliferation of fibrous stroma and terminal ductules with deposition of calcium
mammogram - look like microcalcifications of breast ca
no malignant potential
radial scar
complex sclerosing lesion
microcyst, epithelial hyperplasia, adenosis, central sclerosis
need bx - to distinguish from breast cancer**
slight increased risk to develop breast cancer
expressed nipple discharge
goes away when manipulation stopped
spontaneous nipple discharge
needs evaluated if serous/blood discharge
evaluation of nipple discharge
mammogram, cytology, U/S
unilateral, spontaneous, bloody/serous nipple discharge
duct excision required
95% benign papilloma
5% papillary carcinoma
bilateral nipple discharge
fibrocystic disease with duct ectasia
if not lactating - hyperPRL, hypothyroid, drug induced
lactational mastitis
younger
breast feeding women with fever
breast erythema and tenderness
staph aureus - tx antibiotics
may form abscess
chronc sub-areolar mastitis with duct ectasia
older women
diabetics who smoke
mixed flora
tx - antibiotics
may form abscess
non-resolving mastitis
requires biopsy*
bc looks like inflammatory breast cancer
fat necrosis
scarring folowing trauma, surgery, radiation
scar tissue, chronic inflammatory cells, and macrophages
often with calcifications
no malignant potential
male gynecomastia
diffuse male hypertrophy
pubertal - adolescent boys - rarely requires tx
senescent - males >50, medication associated - digoxin, thiazide, estrogens, phenothiazines, theophylline
must rule out underlying medical condition (cirrhosis, renal failure, malnutrition)
male breast cancer
harder, non-tender, fixed to surrounding sructure
lobes of breast
15-20
estrogen
ducts
