Q

describe management of poland syndrome

A
  • Goals – correct chest wall deformities, address soft tissue deficiency
  • History and physical
  • Work-up – CXR (ribs, clavicle, sternum, scapula), CT/CTA – confirm presence of LD & assess vessels, surgical planning
  • Timing – after breast maturity (consider TE or Becker during puberty)
  • Non-operative – external prosthesis
  • Operative
    • Thoracic remodeling – thoracic consultation (autologous [split rib graft / other free vascularized bone] vs alloplastic [marlex/prolene mesh, custom implant] vs combined)
    • Soft tissue deficiency
      • Alloplastic – Temporary expander to provide symmetry during breast development; exchanged for permanent implant at completion of development
      • AutologousLD + expander/implant/custom implant (best option, if available) – reconstruct infraclavicular hollow and/or anterior axillary fold. Suture LD to IMF & laterally, then position TE on top of chest wall, cover with LD
        • 2nd option or if ipsilateral LD absent: TRAM with cutaneous paddle, or expand breast pocket 1st with TE and bury TRAM vs. contralateral free LD vs. fat injection
      • don’t forget NAC reconstruction

29
Q

Describe the embryology of the breast

A

Develops from ectoderm and mesoderm

Independance of placental hormones:

wk 1-5 : galactic band develops from axilla to groin and in thorax, band enlarges while rest regresses

wk 7-14: invagination of chest wall mesenchyme and thickening of ridge

wk 16-20: budding of epithelium and branching, mesenchyme differentiation into NAC SM cells, development of apocrine glands(montgomery), eccrine, sebaceous, hair follicle

Dependance on placental hormones

wk20-30: Canalization of epithelial buds

wk 30-40: differentiation into lobular alveolar structures, lactiferous ducts

Neonate - colostral milk expressed 4-7days postpartum up to 3wks

Child - Ductal branching and further canalization

30
Q

What hormones play a role in the development of the breast at puberty

A

age 10-12

Estrogen - stimulates ductal growth, with increased CT and terminal ductules

Progesterone -stimulates acinar growth, limits tubular proliferation

31
Q

What are the alveolus, lobule, acine, terminal end buds

A

Alveolus = resting secretory unit

Acine = pregnancy and lactating secretory unit

Lobule= composed of alveolar buds clustered and draining in to terminal duct

4 structures – lobules (glands), milk ducts, skin & fat, connective tissue

· Gland (lobule) = 10-100 alveoli (acini) -> collect into 40 lobules (intra-lobular duct -> extra-lobular duct -> terminal duct) -> clustered to form 15-20 lobes, each w lactiferous ducts

o Terminal ductal-lobular unit (TDLU) is the basic secretory/functional structure of breast (where Breast Ca is thought to originate) & consists of lobule (many acini), intra & extra-lobular duct, terminal duct

· Each lactiferous duct dilates as approaches NAC & coalesces -> forms lactiferous sinus/central collecting duct (milk storage)

o Cells: Glands – columnar cells; Lactiferous ducts – cuboidal cells; Sinus – squamous epithelium

32
Q

What are the Tnner stages of breast development?

A

Tanner stage 1 - at puberty = no glandular tissue, no pigmentation

Tanner stage 2 - age 11+/- 1 = subareolar gland tissue, areola widens

Tanner stage 3 - age 12 +/-1 = increase gland tissue, pigment NAC, contour develops in same plane as NAC

Tanner stage 4 - age 13 +/- 1= NAC forms 2nd mound on breast

Tanner stage 5 - age 15+/-2 = Final adult size, areola returns to contour of breast

33
Q

What occurs during menstrual cycle in breast tissue

A

Follicular phase = epithelial cells proliferate

Luteal phase = Ducts dilate, alveolar cells proliferate/differentiate to secretory cells, interlobular edema

34
Q

What occurs to the breast in pregnancy

A

Growth of alveolar, lobular and ductule tissue, increased pigmentation, vascularity

Caused by hormones (placental lactogen, HcG, prolactin, estrogen/progesterone)

Second 1/2 of pregnancy - growth of myoepithelial cells and dilatation of alveoli with colostrum

35
Q

How does lactation occur

A

Lactation: triggered by

  • loss of placenta hormones
  • continued prolactin production

NAC sensory nerves stimulate milk ejection by prolactin release from anterior pituary and oxytocin release from posterior pituary

Prolactin converts epithelial tissue from presecretory state–>secretory state

Oxytocin stimulates myoepithelial cells in alveoli to release secretions into lactiferous ducts

36
