Malignant Breast Diseases

Breast Cancer
Most common site-specific cancer in women Leading cause of death from cancer 20-59 years Primary Breast Cancer
80% productive fibrosis that involves epithelial and stromal tissue Skin retraction shortening of Coopers suspensory ligaments Ulceration invasion of the skin

Metastasis
Axillary Lymph Node Metastasis
Via lymphatics Level 1 (low) > level II (apical) > Level III (axillary) Axillary LN status most important prognostic correlate of disease free and overall survival

Distant Metastasis
Neovascularization Batsons plexus of veins or axillary and intercostal veins Bone>lung>pleura>soft tissue>liver

Carcinoma In Situ
Does not invade basement membrane

Lobular CIS
Lobular CIS
Usually incidental finding (-) calcification Younger women Histo
Distention and distortion terminal duct lobular units Cytoplasmic mucoid globules

Almost always ER and PR (+) Higher propensity to be bilateral Sx: (B) prophylactic mastectomy, tamoxifen

Ductal CIS
Ductal CIS
15-30% Mammogram calcification
Papillary growth pattern Cribiform growth pattern Solid growth pattern Comedo growth pattern

Anatomic precursor of invasive ductal CA 5x increase for invasive breast CA Mastectomy curative in 95% but BCT is SOC

BRCA1 vs BRCA 2
BRCA1
Only females Poorer differentiation Aggressive clinical course Do not express hormone receptors Over expression of Her 2 ne

BRCA2
Both males and females Poor differentiation ER (+)

Invasive Breast CA
Pagets Disease of the Nipple Invasive Ductal Carcinoma
Adenocarcinoma with productive fibrosis 80% Medullary carcinoma Muinous carcinoma Papillary carcinoma Tubular carcinoma

Invasive Lobular Carcinoma Rare cancers (adenoid cyst, squamous cell, apocrine)

Pagets Disease of the Nipple


Unilateral chronic eczematous eruption Ulcerated weeping lesion Associated with extensive DCIS Pathognomonic sign: large vacuolated cells (Paget Cells) in the Rete pegs of the epithelium Sx: lumpectomy, mastectomy, MRM

Invasive Ductal CA
Most common Poorest prognosis

IDC: Adenocarcinoma with productive fibrosis


60% of axillary lymph node metastasis Perimenopausal/postmenopausal 5th to 6th decades Solitary firm mass, poorly defined margins Central satellite configuration with chalky white or yellow streaks

IDC: Medullary Carcinoma


BRCA1 Soft and hemorrhagic Rapid increase in size -> necrosis and hemorrhage Bulk, well circumscribed and often positioned deep within the breast 50% are associated with DCIS

IDC: Mucinous Carcinoma


Elderly Bulky tumor Histo
Extracellular pools of mucin, which surround aggregates of low grade cancer cells Glistening and gelatinous

66% have hormone receptors 33% have lymph node mets 5 year survival 73% 10 year survival 59%

IDC: Papillary Carcinoma


7th decade of life Small <3cm With papillae with fibrovascular stalks and multilayered epithelium

IDC: Tubular Carcinoma


Perimenopausal or early menopausal Histo:
Haphazard array of small randomly arranged tubular elements

Distant metastases are rare Only 10% have lymph node metastases

Histologic grading system for Invasive Breast CA

Invasive Lobular Carcinoma


2nd most frequent type (5-10%) Replaces the entire breast with poorly define mass Multifocal, multicentric, bilateral Hallmark single file pattern Bone mets more common (mets to leptomeninges, peritoneum, GI tract and reproductive organs)

Phyllodes Tumors
Benign, borderline, malignant Sharply demarcated Bulk is connective tissue with mixed gelatinous, solid and cystic areas Cut surface: leaf life appearance Rare axillary LN mets

Inflammatory Breast CA
Stage IIIB Skin changes:
Brawny induration, erythema with a raised edge and edema (peau dorange)

Frequent distant mets
