CLINICAL PRESENTATION and DIAGNOSIS OF BREAST DISORDERS BREAST DISORDER MANIFESTATIONS (SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS) CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS Processes Pattern Recognition Prevalence
How to formulate a clinical diagnosis using processes of pattern recognition and prevalence Pattern Recognition - realization that patient’s presentation (signs and symptoms) conforms to a previously learned picture or pattern of disease. Prevalence - choice of diagnosis is based on frequency of occurrence of disease in a certain locality, certain age and sex group, and in affected organ and system.
Breast Complete Physical Exam • Inspection • Palpation • Squeezing the nipple for discharge • Axillary palpation
BreastPhysical Exam • Inspection of the breast • Look for gross abnormality!
Gross Abnormalities of the Breast • Unilateral gigantic breast • Erosions of the nipple • Skin retraction • Ulcerations • Fungating mass • Erythema • Nipple discharge
BreastPhysical Exam • Palpation of the breast • Ask before palpating!
Palpation of the Breast • Look for pathologic lumps! • Dominant lumps • Take note of fibrocystic changes! • Hormonal changes • Lumpy breast substance
Pathologic Breast Lump Data needed • Size (in cm in its greatest diameter) • Nature (solid or cystic) • Consistency (hard or not hard – firm/ soft) • Tumor border (well-defined or ill-defined) • Tenderness (presence or absence) • Mobility (movable or fixed – overlying / underlying tissue)
BreastPhysical Exam • Gently squeeze the nipple for any discharge. • Take note of color of discharge!
BreastPhysical Exam • Axillary palpation • Search for palpable lymph nodes

Diagnostic Process Diagnosis Look for signs of inflammation • Pus • Erythema • Warmth • Tenderness Presence of erythema is enough basis to suspect inflammation! Take note though of “Inflammatory breast cancer”!
Breast Abscess Gram +; Staph aureus Inflammatory breast cancer
Diagnostic Process Diagnosis Look for signs of malignancy • Hard consistency • Ill-defined border • Local invasion • Fixation • Regional spread • Distant spread Presence of ONE sign of malignancy is enough basis to suspect malignancy!
Signs of Malignancy Peau d’ orange Inflammatory carcinoma Carcinoma en cuirasse
Diagnostic Process Diagnosis Look for signs of benignity • Cystic nature of mass
