breast pathology - non cancer Flashcards
breast histology
stroma –> termnal duct lobular unit –> Major duct –> lactiferous sinus –> Nipple
Fibroadenoma - epidemology/presentationsituations
MC under 35. Small, well-defined marble-like, mobile mass
increased size with estrogen (pregn, prior to menstr)
Fibroadenoma - cancer
not increased risk
Fibroadenoma - histology/location in breast
stroma –> fibrous tissue and glands
Fibrocystic changes - epidemiology/cancer
MC in premenopausal over 35
no risk for cancer
Fibrocystic changes - presentation
premenstrural breast pain or lumps, often bilateral or multifocal
Fibrocystic changes - histology
terminal duct lobular unit –> nonproliferative lesions include simple cysts (fluid-filled duct dilation, blue done) papillary apocrine change/metaplasia, stromal fibrosis
Sclerosing adenosis?
increased number of the acini and their glandsi and stromal fibrosis –> associated with calcification
Sclerosing adenosis - cancer
1.5-2x increased risk
MCC of nipple discharge (serous or body)
Intraductal papilloma
Intraductal papilloma - definition/histology
small papillary tumor (fibrovascular projection) within lactiferous ducts (lactoferous sinus or major duct), typically beneath areola
–> 2 LAYERS (luminal epith + myoepithelial) (vs CA)
Intraductal papilloma - cancer
1.5-2x increased risk
breast - epithelial hyperplasia?
increased cell in terminal ductal or lobular epithelium
breast - epithelial hyperplasia - cancer
increased risk of carcinoma with atypical cells (x5)
if not atypical –> x2
Phyllodes tumor - definiton/appearance
large mass of connective tissue and cysts with leaf-like lobulations (AT STROMA)
