BREAST Begashaw M (MD)
Introduction Modified sweat gland - produces milk Breast ca - most common cause of death Benign conditions discomfort confusion with neoplasticdisease
Anatomy overly -2nd – 6th rib- from lateral border of sternum to anterior axillary line, between clavicle & to the 7th & 8thribs below Ligaments of cooper Areolacontains involuntary muscles nipple covered by thick skin lactiferous ducts Lymphatics -axillarylymph nodes on the ipsilateral side
Breast lumps • DDx • Cancer • Fibrocystic change • Fibroadenoma • Fat necrosis • Duct ectasia • lipoma •TB
Breast cyst Rare due to a nonintegrated involution of stroma& epithelium often multiple & may be bilateral Diagnosis –aspiration/ultrasound Treatment – Aspiraton
Fibroadenoma • Most common in women age < 30 • C/F Nodulessmooth, rubbery, discrete, well-circumscribed, non-tender, mobile • Ixs -biopsy -ultrasound -FNA • Treatment _Generally conservative: serial observation _Consider excision if size 2-3 cm & rapidly growing
Phyllodes Tumor _Are benign tumors _Usually occur in women over 40 years _large, massive tumor with unevenly lobulated surface and occasionally with ulceration of overlying skin _Treatment – Enucleation _ Simple mastectomy
Ductectasia/ periductal mastitis is dilatation of breast ducts associated with periductalinflammation Pathogenesis _ Dilatation of lactiferous ducts filled with a stagnant brown or green secretiondischarge _irritant reaction in surrounding tissue leading to periductalmastitis
Clinical presentation -Nipple discharge -subareolar mass -Abscess -Mammary duct fistula/nipple retraction • Treatment -Excision of all major ducts
Acute mastitis • is acute inflammation of the breast • Bacterial mastitis is the commonest variety of mastitis and nearly always commences acutely • associated with lactation Causestaphylococcusaureus • Clinical presentation - Pain - Swelling • Redness • Tenderness/hotness • abscess
Treatment • Antibiotics – cloxacillin • Breast restbreast-feeding on the opposite side only • Support breast • Local Heat/Analgesics
Breast abscess If acute infection of breast doesn’t resolve with in 48 hours/tense induration Abscess Fluctuation is a late sign When doubt exists incision & drainage Treatment – incision & drainage
Lactational breast abscess Nonlactational breast abscess
Breast Carcinoma is the commonest cause of death in middle-aged women in western countries In our set up, increasing incidence is being observed
Risk Factors _ Gender -99% Female _ Age80% >40 years old _ Prior hx of breast ca _1st degree relative _ Nulliparity, First pregnancy >30 years old, Menarche < 12 yrs old, Menopause >55 yrs old _Decreased risk with lactation,Earlymenopause, Early childbirth _Radiation exposure _Obesity,Diet,Geography-western
Pathology Arise from the epithelium of the duct system May be entirely in situ or may be invasive Grades -Well differentiated -Moderately -Poorly differentiated Ductal carcinoma -Most common Lobular carcinoma -10 %
Breast cancer Locally advanced breast carcinoma
Spread • Localspread: increases in size & invades,involveskin,penetrate pectoral muscles& chest wall • Lymphatic spread _Axillarylymph node _Supraclavicularnodes _Contra lateral lymph nodes • HematogenousBone(lumbar,Femur, thoracic vertebra, rib/skull) osteolytic) liver, lungs & brain
Clinical presentation • occurs commonly upper outer quadrant/UOQ • Local Findings _Hard, irregular lump _nipple retraction _Skin involvement with peau d’ orange _Frank ulceration &fixation to the chest wall
Signs and Symptoms Most common: lump or thickening in breast. Often painless Discharge or bleeding Redness or pitting of skin over the breast, like the skin of an orange Change in size or contours of breast Change in color or appearance of areola
Signs of metastasis _Lymph node enlargement _Bone pain _cough • Chest x-ray, Serum alkaline phosphates & liver ultrasound
Prognosis - Tumor size & LN status - Invasive & metastatic potential - Histological grade - Estrogen receptor status • Patient age
Treatment • Multi disciplinary _Surgery _Radiotherapy _Medical therapy -Chemotherapy -Hormonal therapy
