A malignant proliferation of cells with in a breast duct is evident with no invasion of the basement membrane
What condition is this?
Ductal carcinoma in situ
breast cancer
What marks the difference between ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive ductal carcinoma?
Invasion of the basement membrane
Mammography of this condition may reveal ___
calcifications
(which could be biopsied to determine malignancy)
ductal carcinoma in situ
Note the ill-defined margins of this condition with irregular cords and nests of neoplastic cells invading stroma
What condition is this?
Invasive ductal carcinoma
What is another name for this condition?
invasive ductal carcinoma
Schirrous carcinoma due to hard and craggy feel to lesion
What is the term for the eosinophilic connective tissue bands that separate these cords of neoplastic cells invading the stroma?
Connective tissue response: desmoplasia
invasive ductal carcinoma
What is the palpatory feel of this condition?
Harder feel, most likely to be detected on self breast exam
invasive ductal carcinoma
This is a histological slide of breast tissue
What condition is this?
Invasive ductal carcinoma
What condition is this?
Paget’s disease of the breast
What is this condition typically associated with?
Deeper invasive ductal or lobular carcinoma
Paget’s disease of the breast
Note the single layer of hyperchromatic cells atop the basement membrane, and the most superficial layers of cells being compact and flattened
What is this a biopsy of?
Normal cervical epithelium
Note how the epithelium is composed of cells that are hyperchromatic for approximately ½ of the thickness of the epithelium, while superficial layers remain squamous
What condition is this?
Moderate cervical dysplasia
Note that all layers of the cervix are hyperchromatic, but the basement membrane is intact
What condition is this?
Carcinoma in situ of cervix
Note that the basement membrane has been breached
What condition is this?
Microinvasive carcinoma of cervix
What condition is this?
Teratoma
(cystic tumor derived from all embryologic layers)
What condition is this?

What age group is most affected by this condition?
Females in child bearing years
follicular cysts
What is this condition?
Chocolate cyst
(endometriosis present)
How does this lesion form?
Common site of involvement for endometriosis is the ovary
In this case, there is hemorrhage in the ovary turning it a dark brown color
chocolate cyst
Patient presents with extreme pain in right lower quadrant of abdomen. She reports being sexually active and tests positive for pregnancy.
What is the immediate differential?
Ectopic pregnancy
What is the evidence for ectopic pregnancy?
Thrombus seen in lumen is evidence of hemorrhage resulting from attempt at implantation
What lab tests/imaging would reach a diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy?
Transvaginal ultrasound scan
