INFLAMMATION Acute Mastitis Most clinically important form of mastitis Breast-feeding cracks/fissures in the nipples bacterial infection (esp. Staph. aureus)
![Page 9: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
INFLAMMATION Acute Mastitis Usually unilateral—acute
inflammation in the breast can lead to abscess formation
Treatment = surgical drainage (often under general anesthesia) and antibiotics
![Page 10: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
INFLAMMATION Mammary Duct Ectasia 5th and 6th decades Affects mainly large ducts Periductal chronic inflammation destruction and dilation of the ducts with fibrosis The underlying cause is
unknown
![Page 11: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
INFLAMMATION Mammary Duct Ectasia Poorly defined periareolar mass;
can be confused clinically/radiologically with carcinoma
Can also present as a thick, cheesy nipple discharge +/- mass
Periductal fibrosis skin retraction
![Page 12: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
INFLAMMATION Fat Necrosis Uncommon lesion; may be a history of trauma, prior surgical intervention or radiation therapy
Characterized by a central focus of necrotic fat cells with lipid-laden macrophages and neutrophils
![Page 13: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
INFLAMMATION Fat Necrosis Chronic inflammation with lymphs
and multinucleated giant cells Major clinical significance is its
possible confusion with carcinoma (e.g. fibrosis clinically palpable mass / Ca2+ seen on mammography)
![Page 14: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Ductal Carcinoma In-situ sed incidence with sed use of mammographic screening and early cancer detection 50% screen-detected cancers Can also produce palpable mass
![Page 48: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Ductal Carcinoma In-situ Characterized by proliferating malignant cells within ducts that do not breach the basement membrane Different patterns e.g. comedo
(central necrosis); cribiform (cells arranged around “punched-out” spaces); papillary and solid (cells fill spaces)
![Page 49: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Ductal Carcinoma In-situ
Different grades i.e. low, intermediate
and high grade—comedo DCIS is classically high grade Often multifocal—malignant population can spread widely
through the duct system
![Page 53: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Ductal Carcinoma In-situ
Women with DCIS are at risk of: Recurrent DCIS following Rx Invasive cancer (rel. risk 8 to 10 times) especially in the same breast
![Page 54: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Lobular Carcinoma In-situ Relatively uncommon lesion Malignant proliferation of small, uniform epithelial cells within the lobules Also at marked sed relative risk for invasive cancer (8 to 10 times) in either breast
![Page 55: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Commonest form of breast cancer
especially in poorer populations sing incidence of screen–detected cancer in developed countries (usually smaller; much better prognosis)
![Page 57: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Different histologic types exist The most common is scirrhous carcinoma (IDC of no special type) This type is characterized grossly by an irregular, hard mass Histology shows infiltrating clusters of malignant cells in a dense, fibrous
stroma
![Page 61: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Special histologic types of IDC: Medullary carcinoma = circumscribed tumour; sheets of malignant cells in dense lymphoid stroma Tubular carcinoma = infiltrating tubular structures on histology
![Page 63: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Invasive Ductal Carcinoma
Special histologic types of IDC: Mucinous/colloid carcinoma = malignant cells in pools of
mucin Papillary carcinoma = papillary formations like papilloma + invasion

Invasive Lobular Carcinoma
Much less common than IDC Can present with similar features More likely to be bilateral and/or multicentric (multiple lesions within the same breast)
![Page 65: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Invasive Lobular Carcinoma
Classic histology = small, uniform cells arranged as:
Strands/columns within a fibrous stroma (“Indian-file”)
Around uninvolved ducts ( “bull’s-eye” pattern)
Metastasize more frequently to CSF, serosal surfaces and pelvic organs
![Page 66: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

PHYLLODES TUMOUR
Stromal tumour arising from the intralobular stroma
Range in size from a few cm to massive lesions Classically have a “leaf-like” configuration
![Page 72: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
PHYLLODES TUMOUR Most are low-grade lesions that can recur locally but do not metastasize Others are of high-grade and exhibit aggressive clinical behaviour e.g. spread to distant sites (cystosarcoma phyllodes)
![Page 73: Disease of the Breast](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/577ccf3d1a28ab9e788f3eeb/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
THE MALE BREAST Gynecomastia Enlargement of the male breast due to hormonal imbalance (rel.estrogens): Physiologic; seen at puberty or old age Pathologic; associated with cirrhosis, functional testicular tumours, certain drugs (alcohol, marijuana and
anabolic steroids)
