14
Q

US benigin tumour

A

Well defined, encapsulated, wider than taller, homgenous, hyperchoic, anechoic (black itself), acoustic enhancements - whiteness at back - accelerated by fluid so faster behind it

15
Q

US malignant tumour

A

Ill defined, irregular, taller than wider, heterogenous, hypoechoic, acoustic shadowing, disrupting breast tissue, acoustic shadowing

16
Q

Palpating benign lump

A

Firm/rubbery, painful, regular, smooth, mobile, no skin dimpling, green and yellow, milky, clear discharge, no nipple retraction

17
Q

Palpating malignatn lump

A

Hard, painless, irregular, fixed to skin/chest wall, skin dimpling, bloody discharge/unilateral discharge, nipple retraction

18
Q

Differentiate between lumps in men on US

A

Behind nipple often gynaecomastia
breast cancer - away from nipple, irregular
Lipomas - rubbery away from nipple

19
Q

How do implants complicate mammograms

A

Implant hides breast tissue
Minimal compression
Breast reduction can also disrupt lines of normal breast tissue

20
Q

Why is there a risk of breast cancer in males but not if had masectomy

A

Men still have some breast tissue
If have masectomy - no breast tissue left

21
Q

Why are lobular cancers more dangerous

A

Easier to miss
Increased chacnes multifocal and bilateral
More difficult to excise with clear margin
More chance masectomy
Always go on to investigate with MRI
