I NFLAMMATORY DISORDERS OF
BREAST
Acute mastitis Periductal mastitis Mammary duct ectasia Fat necrosis Lymphocytic mastopathy (sclerosing lymphocytic lobulitis) Granulomatous mastitis
A CUTE
MASTITIS
S. aureus infection Produce localized area of localized inflammationlead abscess formation (single/multiple)
P ERIDUCTAL
MASTITIS
Variety of names
Inverted nipple (2 to fibrosis & scarring) > contribute to squamous metaplasia of the ducts Surgical removal of the involved duct & contagious fistula tract is curative
M AMMARY
DUCT ECTASIA
Palpable perareolar mass white, thick nipple secretions and skin retraction
Dilatation of the ducts (granular debris deposition + lipid laden macrophages) Inspissation of breast secretions Marked periductal and interstitial chronic granulomatous inflammatory reactions Fibrosis > nipple retraction
FAT
NECROSIS
Present as painless palpable mass, skin thickening or retraction, a mammographic density/ calicifications Central areas of liquefactive necrosis- intense neutrophilic infiltrate mixed with macrophages Fibroblast proliferations present over the next few daysvascularization & Chronic Inflamamtory cells surround Giant cells, calcification and hemosiderin make their appearance Scar tissue is formed
LYMPHOCYTIC MASTHOPATHY
Sclerosing lymphocytic lobulitis Single/ multiple hard palpable masses Bilateral- detected as Mammographic densities
G RANULOMATOUS
MASTITIS
Causes systemic granulomatous diseases (eg: wegener granulomatosis or sarcoidosis), mycobacteria/ fungi Common in immunocompromised patients Foreign objects assertion ( breast prostheses or nipple piercings) Confined to lobules Occurs in parous women- hypersensitivity reaction
N ONPROLIFERATIVE BREAST
CHANGES
P ROLIFERATIVE BREAST
DISEASE WITHOUT ATYPIA
Epithelial hyperplasia Sclerosing adenosis > acini compressed & distortedmimics invasive carcinoma Complex sclerosing lesion > sclerosing adenosis+ papillomas + epithelial hyperplasia central nidus of entrapped glands Papillomas > multiple branching of fibrovascular cores- growth within dilated ducts, E.hyperplasia & apocrine metaplasia often present Large duct papillomas/ small duct papillomas
P ROLIFERATIVE BREAST
DISEASE WITH ATYPIA
Atypical ductal hyperplasia and atypical lobular hyperplasia Atypical ductal hyperplasia histological resemblance to ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) Atypical lobular hyperplasia cells identical to lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS)
Invasive Noninvasive
B REAST C YSTS
Definition: harmless (benign) fluid - filled sac of tissue. It can grow right within the breast tissue. Morphology: Feel smooth and squishy
Location: near the surface/ deep (close to the chest wall)- easy to distinguish from other lumps
F IBROADENOMAS
Definition: benign group of cells (fibrous and glandular tissues) Morphology: round breast lump, palpable (hard/firm) and mobile Location: near the surface of the breast
P SEUDOLUMPS
Definition: benign, and may be scar tissue, hardened silicone, necrotic (dead) fat, or a rib bone pressing into breast tissue and compressing it.
Morphology: can feel quite hard & usually doesn't change shape/size during a menstrual cycle. It may or may not be movable, depending on what it is actually composed of.
C ANCEROUS
LUMP
Definition: A malignant lump that is made of abnormal breast tissue cells, growing in an uncontrolled way.
Morphology: irregular shape (not round) with a pebbly surface, very hard, not movable.
Location: near the surface, deep, close to the chest wall, armpit area
T REATMENT
Chemotherapy Radiotherapy
CHEMOTHERAPY
I N T R O D U C T I O N
Refers to the use of drugs to kill or slow the growth of rapidly multiplying cells. A combination of drugs- since this is more effective than a single drug given alone. There are many drug combinations used to treat breast cancer .
H OW
ITS DONE ?
Chemotherapy drugs are given intravenously (directly into a vein) or orally (by mouth). Once the drugs enter the bloodstream, they travel to all parts of the body in order to reach cancer cells that may have spread beyond the breast . Therefore chemotherapy is considered a "systemic" form of breast cancer treatment.
W HEN
ITS DONE ?
Given in cycles of treatment followed by a recovery period. The entire chemotherapy treatment generally lasts for 3-6 months(depending on the type of drugs given). When breast cancer is limited to the breast or lymph nodes. May be given after a lumpectomy or mastectomyadjuvant treatment (may help reduce the chance of breast cancer recurrence). Sometimes given before surgery-neoadjuvant
RADIOTHERAPY
I N T R O D U C T I O N
A local treatment- it affects cancer cells only in the treated area. Radiation can come from a machine (external radiation). It can also come from an implant (a small container of radioactive material) placed directly into or near the tumor (internal radiation).
Depend on the treatment dose and the part of the body that is treated. Most common side effects are tiredness, skin reactions (such as a rash or redness, permanent pigmentation, and scarring) in the treated area, and loss of appetite. Inflammation on the treated areas. Reduced WBC proliferations.
