some may becoma malignant

17
Q

Phyllodes tumor - age

A

MC in 5th decade (postmenopausal)

18
Q

Fat necrosis - definition/presentation

A

Benign, usually painless, lump due to injury to breast tissue
Up to 50% patients may not report trauma

19
Q

Fat necrosis - appearance

A
  1. calcified oil cyst on mammography

2. necrotic fat and giant cells on biopsy

20
Q

Intraductal papilloma - epidemiology

A

premenopausal women

21
Q

indraductal papilloma vs cancer

A
  1. papiloma has also the myeoepithelial layer

2. papilloma is premenopausal

22
Q

Lactational mastitis?

A

during breastfeeding –> high risk of bacterial infection through cracks in nipple

23
Q

Lactational mastitis - MC pathogen/presentation

A

S. aureus / presentation: warm, red breast with purulent nipple discharge

24
Q

Lactational mastitis - treatment

A
  1. antibiotics (dicloxacilin)

2. continue breastfeeding

25
Q

Gynecomastia?

A

breast enlargement in males due to high estrogen levels compared with androgen activity

26
Q

Gynecomastia is physiologic in

A
  1. newborn
  2. pubertal (but may perists after puberty
  3. elderly males
27
Q

causes of pathologic gynecomastia

A
  1. cirrhosis
  2. hypogonadism (eg. Klinefelter)
  3. testicular tumors
  4. drugs
28
Q

drugs that causes gynecomastia

A
  1. spironolactone
  2. Hormones
  3. cimetidine
  4. Ketoconazole
29
Q

Periductal mastitis - definition/epidemiology

A
  • inflammation of subareolar ducts
  • in smokers (low vit A –> epithelial become squamous
  • -> keratin –> plag –> inflammation behind –> granoulation tissue –> retraction
30
Q

Periductal mastitis - presentation

A

subareolar mass with nipple retraction

31
Q

Mammary duct ectasia - definition/epidemiolgy/presentation

A
  • inflammation with dilation (ectasia) of subareola ducts
  • multiparous postmenopauseal
  • -> green brown nipple discharge
32
Q

Mammary duct ectasia - biopsy

A

chronic inflammation with plasma cells

33

benign breast conditions - cancer?

A
  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
