Q

Phyllodes tumor - age

Study These Flashcards
A

MC in 5th decade (postmenopausal)

22
Q

Periductal mastitis - definition/epidemiology

Study These Flashcards
A
  • inflammation of subareolar ducts
  • in smokers (low vit A –> epithelial become squamous
  • -> keratin –> plag –> inflammation behind –> granoulation tissue –> retraction
23
Q

Periductal mastitis - presentation

Study These Flashcards
A

subareolar mass with nipple retraction

24
Q

Sclerosing adenosis? / cancer?

Study These Flashcards
A

increased number of the acini and their glandsi and stromal fibrosis –> associated with calcification
- 1.5-2x increased risk

25
Mammary duct ectasia - definition/epidemiolgy/presentation
- inflammation with dilation (ectasia) of subareola ducts - multiparous postmenopauseal - -> green brown nipple discharge
26
Mammary duct ectasia - biopsy
chronic inflammation with plasma cells
27
benign breast conditions - cancer?
1. Fibroadenoma - no 2. fibrocystic changes - no 3. sclerosing adenonis - 1.5-2 x cancer 4. Intraductal papilloma --> 1.5-2 x cancer 5. epithelial hyperplasia --> x5 if atypical, x2 if not atypical 6. Phylloid tumor --> some may become malignant 7. Fat necoris 8. Lacational mastitis 9. Gynecomastia 10. Periductal mastitis 11. Mammary duct ectasia
28
evaluation of nipple discharge
- unilateral or bloody or serous --> breast U/S or mammo if older than 30 - if bilateral, milky, nonbloody --> palpable lump or skin changes? yes: U/S or mammo no: pregnancy test, Guaiac test, prolactin, TSH, consider MRI of pituitary
29
breast Ca RF
modifiable: Hormones, nulliparity, increased age at first live birth, alcohol non-modifiable: mutation or breast ca in 1st degree relatives, white, age, early menarche or later menopause
30
Ductal carcinoma in situ of breast - presentation
- often seen early as MICROCALCIFICATIONS in mammography | - usually does not produce mass
31
when to check somebody for BRCA
breast Ca under 50 | ovarian ca in any age
32
alcohol - breast ca
dose dependent
33
breast abscess - treatment
needle aspiration + antibiotics
34
different methods of biopsy in breast cancer (only names)
1. fine needle aspiration 2. core needle biopsy 3. open biopsy
35
breast cancer - best initial biopsy / characteristics
FNA | - FP rate less than 2%, but because is small sample, FN rate of 10%
36
breast cancer - core needle biopsy characteristics
larger sample, MORE DEFORMING but you can test for estrogen, progesterone and HER 2/neu receptors. difficulties include greater deformity and possibility that the needle will miss the lesion
37
breast cancer - the most accurate biopsy / characteristics
open allows for frozen section to be done while the patient is in the operating room followed by immediate resection of cancer followed by sentinel node
38
If a breast biopsy is going to be performed, what is the point in doing a screening test like mammography
5-10% of patients have bilateral disease. In addition, there is huge difference in the management of the patient if there is a single or multiple lesions within the same breast
39
breast cancer - indications for PET
to determine the content of abnormal lymph nodes or masses that are not easily accessible to biopsy
40
breast cancer - surgery
lumpectomy with radiation is equal in efficacy to modified radical mastectomy but much less deforming
41
modified radical mastectomy
mastectomy (removal of the nipple, areola, and breast tissue) as well as removing the majority of lymph nodes from under the arm, referred to as an axillary lymph node dissection (no muscles are removed and only lymph nodes I and II are removed not the III vs radical
42
breast cancer - radiation after lumpectomy
indispensable in preventing recurrences at the breast
43
breast cancer - contraindication for lumpectomy
multifocal cancer or contraindication of radiation
44
breast cancer - when Radical mastectomy
NEVER
45
aromatase inhibitors vs tamoxifn
slightly superior in efficacy (BETTER --> if both arematase inh are the answer for the most likely to benefit) aromatase inhibitors are generally for postmenopausal and tamoxifen in premenopausal
46
hallmark features of inflammatory carcinoma
breast erythema, warm, pain and edema
47
situations with calcification in mammography
1. Ductal in situ and invasive 2. sclerosing adenosis 3. fat necrosis
48
intraductal papilloma - clinical features
unilateral bloody nipple discharge no mass or lymphadenopathy nothing in mammo
49
intraductal papilloma - management
mammography + U/S | - biopsy +/- excision
50
MCC of nipple discharge (serous or body)
Intraductal papilloma
