What is present in women less than 35 y.o.?
|
fibroadenoma, mastitis, fat necrosis, cancer
|
|
What is different about women 35-50 y.o.?
|
fibrocystic changes are at the top of the list, carcinoma is second, papilloma is a possibility (last one)
|
|
What is different about women more than 50 y.o.?
|
carcinoma is first on the list, fibrocystic changes are second, Paget's disease becomes an option (in the middle), and papilloma is still last on the list.
|
|
20-40 years old
Cyst formation (with fluid, calcifications, and apocrine metaplasia) Benign Adenosis (number of ducts per lobule increase) Non- proliferative |
Fibrocystic changes
On histo--Huge hole on the left with a smaller one on the right side. |
|
What do the two histo slides look like for FCC?
|
Many small clumped circles that are gray on the left side.
Many magenta bigger clumps that are on the right side. |
|
A proliferative lesion--double the amount of acini
Fibrosis and glandular crowding Mimicks cancer, but is benign Prominent myoepithelial cells |
Sclerosing adenosis
|
|
Mimicks cancer, both radiologically and grossly.
Radiating bands of fibrosis Benign |
Radial scar
|
|
Benign and no atypia
What does it look like on histo? |
florid ductal hyperplasia
Histo--An angled oval on the left side, that is a purple color. |
|
What is important about Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia?
|
The nuclei are becoming atypical and there is an increased risk of cancer now.
|
|
What does a duct carcinoma in situ look like on histo?
|
A squash on the bottom with a circle to its right. On the left there is a small star.
|
|
What does a benign duct cyst look like on histo?
|
Like bubbles. They are small on the left and progressively get larger.
|
|
During the reproductive years
Stromal and glandular hyperplasia Firm, rubbery, mobile Benign Changes with menstrual cycle, and gets smaller and disappears with menopause |
Fibroadenoma
On histo--slits and loose fibrous stoma No proliferation of atypia |
|
Proliferates and is larger than fibroadenomas
Can be malignant--more cellular with increased mitosis Hematogenous metasasis |
phyllodes tumor
On histo--very cellular on the left and ductal n the right. |
|
Solitary lesion usually at the ducts near the nipple
Sometimes with a bloody discharge Benign The MC type of disease with bloody discharge |
Intraductal papilloma
|
|
Histo with strands of stroma in the left and right upper corners and the middle of the bottom side
|
Sclerosing adenosis
|
|
Histo with a duct FILLED with epithelial proliferation with slits on the periphery.
|
Epithelial hyperplasia
|
|
What are features of BRCA 1 mutation?
|
poorly differentiated, medullary, ER and PR negative, and HER2/Neu negative, younger ages, and a higher ovarian cancer risk.
|

On histo, what does LCIS look like?
|
a bunch of grapes in a well-circumscribed sphere
|
|
What does invasive ductal carcinoma look like of histo?
|
Light blue stoma with clusters of brown circular cells.
|
|
What does invasive lobular carcinoma look like on histo?
|
cancer cells in a single file or a bunch of thin circular layers.
|
|
