What form of breast cancer is characterized by small “mixed” cells with necrosis and calcification
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)
If left untreated what would happen to a patient with DCIS
1/3 turn into invasive CA
If a female that was diagnosed with DCIS (underlying cancer) comes in showing manifests on skin near the areola that looks like eczema what is the disease
Paget disease of the nipple
A women comes in with a form of breast cancer with uniform cells, mucin vacuoles, and you incidentally diagnosed that left untreated would turn into CA on both breasts
Lobular carcinoma in situ
Patient comes in with breast cancer that has invaded and adhered to the pectorals what is it
Invasive (infiltrating) carcinoma
What type of breast cancer has possible lymphedema and lymphatic mets that shows as dimpling of skin and nipple inversion after it invaded/adheres to the pectorals
Invasive/infiltrating carcinoma
What type of breast cancer extends from DCIS making up 75% of all breast CA with heterogenous cells, irregular borders that also has firm/ fibrotic and palpable lumps

What breast CA is from LCIS that has multiple masses that are palpable and when aggressivecan mets to GI, ovary, uterus, CSF, marrow
Invasive lobular carcinoma
What type of breast cancers lack 3 main receptors (ER,PR,HER2) and are linked to mutations on BRCA1/2
Triple negative breast Ca’s
What type of pathology report deals with estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors where if both + indicates 80%. Response
Hormone receptors
HER2 breast cancer pathology report indicates from what and is 30% of all breast Ca’s

What breast cancer has solitary painless mass detected during palpation
Invasive breast cancer
Where is invasive breast cancer usually mets to
Lymphatic
What does the location of invasive breast cancer more lateral/central indicate
Route through axillary nodes
What does the location of invasive breast cancer more medial
Internal mammary arteries
What brings on poorer prognosis of invasive breast cancer
Anaplasia, increase in size, invasion or distant mets, overexpression of HER2/neu
What brings about better prognosis of invasive breast cancer
Estrogen receptors, and progesterone receptors
Patient comes in with enlarged male breast tissue that is non cancerous, you notice increased estrogen and going through puberty
Gynecomastia
Who is most likely to get male breast cancer
Mc in elderly
Where is male breast cancer likely to go to

Bartholin cyst
What is a co-infecx with a barhtolin cyst
Bartholin abscess
What condition is produced from hyperplasia/hyperkeratosis of epithelium due to chronic irritation
Lichen simplex chronicus
What epithelial disorder is from atrophy due to an AI whitening near the minora
Lichen sclerosus
Patient age 8 and patient age 60 comes in with dermal fibrosis around the minora what do you suspect is the cause
Lichen sclerosus
What type of CA is produced from lichen sclerosus
5% SCC

What hpv-related SCC deals with precancerous lesion of the vulva
Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia
What type of vulvar carcinoma is the mc type and impacts older women with symptoms of lichen sclerosus (no VIN)
Non-HPV related SCC
What is the cause usually for vaginitis
