“ The breast from their prominence, the colour of their skin, and the red colour of the nipples, by which they are surmounted, add great beauty to the female form”

APPROACH

• Embryology-congenital lesions , anatomy & physiology of breast

• Classification• Investigations• Case scenario1-lump• Case scenario 2-mastalgia• Case scenario 3-nipple discharge• Case scenario 4-BBD in pregnancy & lactation• Case scenario 5-BBD in males

Accessory nipple


Accessory intra-mammary nipple

• Congenital Nipple Inversion • failure of nipple to evert during development. May

be unilateral. • Spontaneously corrected during growth of pregnancy

or by simple traction.

Anatomy

• Modified sweat gland between the superficial and deep layers of the chest wall

BBD CLASSIFICATION

Tobin Dominic

• Congenital disorders• Traumatic• Inflammatory & • Infectious• Neoplastic• ANDI

The ANDI (Aberrations of Normal Development and Involution )

• Breast –physiologically dynamic structure• unifying concept of symptoms, signs, histology and

physiology • Benign disorders are related to the normal processes

of reproductive life. • spectrum ranges from normal to aberration to

sometimes disease.• classification is not comprehensive

ETIOLOGY• Endocrine• Disturbance of hypothalamic pituitary gonadal steroid

axis• Altered prolactin profile• Non endocrine• Methylxanthines• Stress catecholamines• High saturated fat diet• Iodine deficiency

Breast Imaging Reporting And Data System [BI-RADS]

Categories are:0: Incomplete – needs additional imaging1: Negative - routine mammogram yearly2: Benign finding(s) -yearly mammogram3: Probably benign- short term follow up4: Suspicious abnormality - biopsy should be

considered5: Highly suggestive of malignancy6: Known biopsy-proven malignancy to r/o ca in

opposite breast

BREAST MRI To distinguish scar from

recurrence Gold standard for

imaging breast with implants

Detection of vertebral body metastasis & musculoskeletal pathology

Visualisation of axilla

BREAST MRIIndications

Radiologically dense breasts when mammography fails.If Axillary node +ve and breast normal after mammo and sonography.To rule out multifocality multicentricity before BCS.To assess induction chemotherapy.Followup after BCS.•Contrast enhanced more sensitive

THERMAL IMAGING(Digital infrared)

Thermal imaging is an advanced technology that creates a visual image of the heat pattern of breast.

FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY

Uses 21gauge needle & 10 ml syringe

Multiple passes through lump without releasing negative pressure

Aspirate is smeared onto slide & fixed

Differentiates solid & cystic lesions

If fnac is inconclusiveAdvantagessignificant core of tissue obtainedcan distinguish invasive from intra ductal carcinomaGrading of tumorTo know ER/PR and Her 2 statusDisadvantage

seeding of malignant cells along needle tract

CORE NEEDLE BIOPSY

Core needle biopsy under ultrasound guidance

When core needle biopsy is inconclusive

Removal of small portion of tumour

> 4cm in size

•Whole tumour is removed preferably if <4 cm in size

INCISION BIOPSY

EXCISION BIOPSY

Most accurate and the Best Diagnostic Procedure for a Suspicious Breast Lesion.

Complete excision with a rim of normal tissuePlan the incision in such a way that

subsequent radical surgery can easily include the scar.

Follow Langer’s line

OPEN BIOPSY(EXCISIONAL BIOPSY)

MAMMOTOME

Used for taking stereotactic biopsy from mammographically detected breast lesions that are not clinically palpable.

Mammotome

DUCTOSCOPE• A fiber optic scope less

than a millimeter thick is inserted into the milk duct at the nipple and threaded deep into the breast through the duct.

• An imaging system displays the output of the scope on a computer monitor.

• Samples of epithelial cells can be collected onto microscope slides for further analysis.

DUCTOSCPOY

INDICATIONS Patients with pathologic nipple

dischargePatients who are at high-risk for

developing cancer but have normal breast on examination and imaging studies.

After application of a numbing cream, a small clear cap with a syringe attached is placed over thenipple. This device (the nipple aspirator) is similar to a small breast pump and is used to see if fluid will come out of the nipple.

•To encourage fluid production,women are instructed in breast massage and heat packs may be used on the breasts.

•If fluid is not produced, the lavage is not performed.

DUCTAL FLUID COLLECTION

If fluid is obtained with the nipple aspirator,then the lavage procedure is started.

One or two small dilators to help open the duct.

Then the ductal lavage catheter is inserted and a small amount of lidocaine, as anesthetic may be injected through the catheter for comfort.

DUCTAL LAVAGE

• Saline, is injected through the catheter into the duct and the breast massaged to bring ductal cells into the chamber of the catheter.

• An empty syringe attached to the catheter is used to collect the cells from the catheter chamber.

• The cells are then placed in a preservative and sent to the cyto - pathologist where they are processed and read much like a Pap smear.

DUCTOGRAPHY/GALACTOGRAPHYA ductogram is a mammographic procedure that is performed to help identify the breast duct that may be the source of nipple discharge.

Ductal ectasia.- Craniocaudal ductogram shows a dilated ductal system.

Carcinoma. -craniocaudal ductogram shows an outlined intraductal abnormality (arrow). Note the pleomorphic calcifications (arrowheads)

Case scenario 1

• 25 year old female patient presented with a lump in the breast.She gives a history of slow growing lump not associated with any pain or discharge from nipple & is very much anxious.

Possibilities????

• Fibro adenoma• Phyllodes tumour• Breast cyst• Traumatic fat necrosis• carcinoma

FIBROADENOMA

Fibroadenomas• Second most common tumor of breast

• ANDI

• Represent a hyperplastic or proliferative process in a

single lobule

• Etiology is unknown, thought to be due to hormonal influence

• Risk of malignant transformation is rare• Resulting carcinoma is often a lobular carcinoma • Mimic malignancy in pregnancy,HRT

types• Simple/solitary/small(2-3 cm) • Multiple(>5)• Juvenile-in young women between the ages of 10 -

18.• Giant(>5cm)-rapidly growing,more common in afro-caribbean population

• Complex -contain other histological changes such as sclerosing adenosis, duct epithelial Hyperplasia, epithelial calcification.

Associated with slightly increased risk of cancer

Clinical features

• Between the ages of 15-25 years & size of 2-3cm• Painless lump- capsulated,smooth, firm, well defined,

nontender, BREAST MOUSE• Confused with phyllodes• Microscope- intracanalicular pericanalicular

diagnosis

• Clinical examination• Ultrasound scan –circumscribed lobulated

mass• FNAC/Core needle biopsy
