Carcinoma in situ It is a spectrum of pre invasive neoplastic changes in the breast includes; • DCIS 4 % symptomatic 25 % screen detected • LCIS <1 % symptomatic 1% screen detected • Hyper plastic appearance ( ductal or lobular)
Ductal Carcinoma in Situ • It is the group of neoplasm arising from ductal epithelium & confined by basement membrane • Ducts expanded by large irregular cells with lage irregular nuclei • Malignant cells are confined by basement membrane
Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (classification) • Comedo DCIS • High grade cytology • Extensive necrosis • Branched calcification • Non Comedo DCIS • Low grade cytology • Lack necrosis • Lack calcification • Cribribriform • Solid • micropapillary Intermediate histology
Ductal Carcinoma in Situ • Clinical presentation • Asymptomatic > 50 % in screening programs as abnormal mamographic finding • Nipple discharge • Paget’s disease • Risk of invasive BC is 40 % over 30 y • Multicentricity in 50 %
Ductal Carcinoma in Situ(Diagnosis) • Sterotactic CNB • U/S guided CNB • Wire or ink guided excisional biopsy which is a must if; • Atypical ductal hyperplasia • Radial scar • Non specific diagnosis • Lack correlation with mammogram • Wedge biopsy if paget’s
Ductal Carcinoma in Situ(Treatment) Depend on Van Nuys Prognostic Index which classify patients into 3 groups Depending on 3 factors 3- Surgical free margin 1- Tumor size 2- Histological grade Intermediate risk Low risk High risk Wide local excision (BCS) BCS & irradiation Mastectomy SSM
Lobular Carcinoma In Situ • It constitute 25 % of CIS • The risk of invasive cancer is 20 – 30 % life time and bilateral • It is multicentric in 80 % • Never palpable mass • Treatment • Follow up by • C/E every 4 months • Mammography yearly • Chemoprevention by Tamoxafen or raloxifene • Mastectomy which is rarely used
Invasive Breast Cancer • Epithelial Invasive BC • Ductal 85 % • Lobular 9 % • Mucinous 5 % • Papillary < 5 % • Medullary < 5 % • Mixed Ct & epithelial • Miscellaneous • Paget’s disease • IBC
Infiltrating Duct Carcinoma: small hard (Atrophic scirrhous) • 5 % • post menopausal with shriveled breast • NEA • Small size • Irregular in shape • Very hard in consistency • MP • ++++ FT • + islads of malignant spheroidal cells • Infrequant mititic figures • Very slowly progress 10 Y • Very late metastases • Best prognosis
Infiltrating Duct Carcinoma: Fibrosis(Scirrhous) • 75 % • Middle aged 40 – 60 Y • NEA • Small size • Irregular in shape • hard in consistency • MP • +++ FT • ++ scanty as finger like processes • slowly progress • late metastases • Good prognosis
Medullary Carcinoma: Large soft • 3- 5 % • Well developed breast of young woman • NEA • Largr fleshy in size • Brain like cut section in shape with hge & necrosis • Soft in consistency • MP • ++ delicate FT • ++ + highly malignant cells • Rapidly progress • Moderate metastases • Good prognosis • Rapid increase lead to early presentation • Fungate more than infilttrate • Late LN affection dt large cell size
Mucoid or Colloid Carcinoma • It form a bulky mass with mucoid degeneration & necrosis • It grow slowly & disseminate late & may reach huge sizes so have good prognosis after surgery • Signet ring shaped cells dt mucoid materials
Lobular Carcinoma • It constitute 9 % • Arise in the terminal lobules • It could take different presentation as ductal carcinoma
Paget’s Disease • It is a chronic eczematoid malignant eruption of the nipple • 1 % in middle aged and old woman • Etiology • Old theory ( skin tumor with secondary breast mass • New theory ( tumor in terminal ducts as in situ cancer then spread • Outward to nipple and skin • Inward breast mass
Paget’s Disease • Hyper plastic changes in all layers of epidermis (epidermal hypertrophy) • Characteristic paget’s cells • Large vaculated cells • Deeply stained eccentric nucleus • Subdermal round cell infiltration
Paget’s Disease( Clinical picture) • Persistent eczema like condition that affect old female 50 Y which does not respond to topical treatment • Unilateral erosion of the nipple which is red, thick, scaly & crusted without vesicles or itching • Serosangious discharge • Mass in the breast in 2 Years
Paget’s Menopause Unilateral No vesicles or itching Sub areolar mass after 2 years Not respond to topical treatment Biopsy paget cells Eczema Lactation Bilateral Vesicles and itching No mass Respond to topical treatment No paget cells
Paget’s DiseaseDiagnosis • Mammography is a must • Detect sub clinical mass • Detect micro calcification • Detect multi centricity • Biopsy ( full thickness nipple biopsy)is diagnostic where there are 3 different types • Paget’s disease with DCIS ( high grade comedo) • Paget’s disease with invasive cancer ( commonest) • Paget’s disease confined to epidermis of nipple & areola ( rarest)
Paget’s Disease( Treatment) • The standard treatment is mastectomy • Recently BCS is used with segmentectomy of nipple & areola & radiotherapy Paget’s disease with no mass Or with DCIS Paget’s disease with mass or with invasive cancer Segmentectomy Of N & A & Axillary dissection Segmentectomy Of N & A + Ve margins multicentric • Ve margins • No multicentric Radiotherapy Mastectomy
