Fibroadenoma

Cleft Fibroadenoma

Intraductal papilloma

Cystosarcoma phyllodes Phyllodes tumor arises from the interlobular stroma, In contrast to fibroadenomas, it is uncommon & is often larger in size and more cellular. Projections of stroma between the ducts create the leaflike pattern for which these tumors are named (from the Greek word phyllodes, meaning “leaflike”).

One in eight women will get breast cancer, and one third of women with breast cancer will die of the disease
10
Causes of Breast Cancer Hormonal Genetic Environmental
11
Risk Factors for Breast Cancer Estrogen, (F / M = 100 / 1) Menstrual history & Reproductive history. - Long & Strong exposure; (Early menarch & late Menopause) - Pregnancy; (Nilliparous, Late 1 st pregnancy) - Lactation, decrease risk - Oophorectomy (decrease the risk to 1/3) Age (Peak; 60 – 70y) Family historty; (1 st degree, early age, bilat)/ 2 folds Benign breast disease (Hx of previous breast pathology) - Fibrocystic disease +/- epith hyperplasia +/- atypia. - CIS - 0X, 2X, 5X, 10X Geography In 2002 Estrogen declared as carcinogen by National Toxicology Program
12
The two most common risk factors for breast cancer are: Being female Getting older Breast Cancer (C50): 2011-2013
13
Other Risk Factors for Breast Cancer Oral contraceptive Radiation Exposure Carcinoma of the contralateral breast or endometrium Obesity High fat diet Alcohol Smoking Environmental Toxins Breast augmentation. ABORTIONS?
14
Genetic changes Proto-oncogen HER2/NEU - 30% - Poor prognosis RAS & MYC Tumor suppressor gene Rb, p53, ER gene inactivation
15
Gene profiling of breast cancer Gene profiling of breast cancer 1. ER +ve, HER2 –ne 2. ER +ve, HER2 +ve 3. ER -ne, HER2 +ve 4. ER -ne, HER2 –ne Different Outcome & Therapy.
16
Genetic Factors Inherited Mutations (10%) 10% breast cancers are familial - 90% are sporadic Positive Family History, especially in 1st degree relatives (mother, daughter, sister) confers increased risk for breast cancer Tumor suppressor genes (BRCA1, BRCA2) Risk is greatest with: First degree relative relatives with BILATERAL disease relatives affected at a YOUNG AGE
17
BRCA1 Gene (17q21) “Breast-Ovarian” cancer gene “Early onset” breast cancer gene High grade breast Ca. Responsible for up to 50% of “inherited” breast cancers, (5% of all breast cancers) BRCA2 Gene (13q); “Male Breast Cancer” gene
18
Breast Cancer Pathology Ductal Ca. (85 – 93%) Lobular Ca. (7 – 15%) In Situ Carcinomas (CIS) (15 ) Invasive Carcinomas (85%) Special Subtypes (> 5%)
19
Ductal Carcinoma in Situ Clinical: –DCIS usually does not present as a palpable mass. Mammogram: –The most common method of detection is by identifying mammographic calcifications MRI FNA Biopsy
20
Mammography showing a normal breast (left) and a cancerous breast (right). Mammography is the standard for detection of DCIS. MRI could help especially in high-grade DCIS -Calcification, -50 - 60% in ca. -20% in benign
21
Solid DCIS, Micropapillary Cribriforming DCIS Comedoca DCIS
22
Lobular carcinoma in situ Multicentric, Bilateral
23
Invasive Duct Ca 90% of infiltrating breast carcinomas
24
Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma Gross: Firm & gritty, pale - white Micro: Grading; 1)tubule formation 2)nuclear grade 3)mitotic rate - Desmoplastic stromal response (fibrosis).
25
Infiltrating Lobular Carcinoma 2nd most common invasive breast ca. Multifocal & bilateral Same prognosis as infiltrating ductal ca, when matched for stage - Single cells & linear profiles of malignant cells with “Indian file pattern” - Dense fibrous tissue.
26
Invasive lobular carcinomaInvasive ductal carcinoma
27
Mucin Infiltrating ductal ca. Tubular type V. Good prognosis Infiltrating ductal ca. Medullary type (lots of lymphocytes) better prognosis Infiltrating ductal ca. Mucinous type Good prognosis Infiltrating ductal ca. Mucinous type Good prognosis
28
Peau d’orange of involved skin caused by lymphatic involvement and obstruction. Inflammatory Carcinoma invasive carcinoma involving superficial dermal lymphatic. Erythema & induration Inflammatory carcinoma: dermal lymphatic spaces containing tumor cells
29
Paget’s Disease Invasion of the SKIN of nipple or areola by malignant cells. Associated with in situ or invasive ca erythema, scaling, ulceration Intra-epidermal malignant cells
30
Extramammary Paget disease
31
Tumor grade HISTOLOGY WHO grading Well differentiated Mod. differentiated Poor differentiated B-R grading Glands Nuclei Mitosis CYTOLOGY –Nuclei Size Membrane Chromatin Nucleoli Nuclear grade 1-3 Good correlation with histologic grade

The “Triple Test”: – Clinical picture – Mammographic findings – Cytologic findings
41
MALE BREAST GYNECOMASTIA (related to hyperestrogenism)
42
Gynecomastia Reversible enlargement of male breast Unilateral or bilateral subareolar mass +/-pain Ductal and stromal proliferation, NO lobules Etiology - Systemic disease – hyperthyroidism, cirrhosis, CRF –Drugs; cimetidine, digitalis, tricyclic antidepressants, marijuana –Neoplasms -pulmonary, testicular germ cell tumors –Hypogonadism: testicular atrophy, exogenous estrogen, Klinefelter’s syndrome Periductal edema Epithelial hyperplasia
43
THE MALE BREAST Carcinoma Very rare occurrence; female cancer to male cancer ratio approx 100:1 Pathology and behavior is similar to cancers seen in women although with less breast tissue, skin involvement is more frequent Associated with inherited BRCA2 mutation
44
Lecture Objectives Can you? 1. Discuss the etiology/pathologic features of different forms of benign non-neoplastic and neoplastic breast disease. 2. List the benign breast diseases that increase a patient’s risk of developing breast cancer and classify these conditions by the degree of risk.
45
Lecture Objectives Can you? 3. Outline other risk factors predisposing to breast cancer & incidence/prevalence of breast cancer. 4. Classify breast cancer into histologic subtypes and describe the pathologic features of each. 5. List the prognostic factors for breast cancer.
