So now we have a 40 year old postpartum. No, she
0:03
is lactating female with a new right
0:06
breast.
0:12
Mass. All right.
0:13
Go to the question.
0:16
So what is these least likely diagnosis from the
0:19
answers?
0:24
And I'll go back and I'll move this over so that
0:27
everyone can see.
0:30
All right. Looks like we have our answer.
0:34
All right, so
0:35
We have a bunch of different a bunch of different opinions. It looks
0:38
like a third a third a third. So no one thought access but
0:41
if there's that Pokemon say that there's IDC in
0:44
a third Galactus deal. All right.
0:47
And then what?
0:49
What is the risk of biasing a patient with?
0:53
What is the risk of biopsy in this specific patient?
0:56
And we'll get to all the answers at the end.
1:00
All right, a milkfish still at excellent. Excellent. Excellent.
1:03
Excellent.
1:04
So
1:05
to talk about the first question the least likely diagnosis.
1:08
I want to First describe it and then we're going to
1:11
go to the differential and you'll see why all these are on
1:14
the differential but one is very unlikely, but it's important to keep it
1:17
in mind.
1:18
All right, so we have a mass
1:21
of multiple different echogenicities. We have
1:24
some areas of fluid not a
1:27
ton of hyperemia.
1:29
But there's a little bit so, you know.
1:33
Math that you expect to see a lot of hyperemia. You also
1:36
with an access. Sometimes you can see hyperemia. Sometimes
1:39
you don't like to steal. You wouldn't expect
1:42
hyperemia a galactic feeling and an abscess
1:45
can both be a complex math with cystic and
1:48
solid components as well as mastitis can
1:51
also get some fluid from edema because
1:54
there's not a ton of drainable fluid here. It looks like and then
1:57
of course you're always concerned about invasive Dental carcinoma, which could if
2:00
it was a product and a rapidly growing tumor it could
2:03
have
2:05
Focal areas of hypocal areas
2:08
representing your president. So when we go to the differential
2:11
diagnosis the most common things in a
2:14
woman of this age and lactating is a galactophile acting
2:17
and Noma and abscess or focal methods. So those are the most common
2:20
yes breast cancer can occur. The percentage is
2:23
low and that's why it's the least common. So it's
2:26
important to always go to these first. Well keeping breast cancer
2:29
in mind. And the reason you don't want to automatically jump to this is cancer. This
2:32
is cancer is because biasing these patients is
2:35
difficult. You can give them a mix milk insulin. What happens with the milk
2:38
fistula is when you biopsy
2:41
A mass in A lactating breath you can cause official
2:44
between the milk ducts and
2:47
the surface of the skin and what will happen is the skin the sorry the
2:50
milk will take the path of least resistance. The
2:53
nipple has a lot of resistance, right? If not the milk would just
2:56
squirt out all the time, but it has some resistance to maintain their
2:59
smooth erectile smooth muscle in the nipple to
3:02
keep it.
3:04
The milk in but there won't be any at your biopsy site.
3:07
So the milk will go out the five official of
3:10
the biopsy site and it won't cause the nipple and we'll
3:13
happen is the patient will have to stop breastfeeding because
3:16
the baby won't breastfeed anymore on that side because they won't be getting milk
3:19
and eventually the milk will dry out.
3:21
So you really want to think twice before biasing now,
3:24
if you do have a high sufficient that this is one of those
3:27
small percentage of pregnancy related breast cancers. What you
3:30
want to do is you don't want to use your typical biopsy device.
3:33
You don't want to use your typical 14 gauge spring
3:36
loaded biopsy device or large four biopsy device. My recommendation
3:39
is to do an FNA with
3:42
a 21 gauge needle or less and what that'll tell
3:45
you is are there malignant cells in here or not. If there
3:48
are malignant cells in there, then you proceed to a probiosity because
3:51
breastfeeding is the least of the patient's problems, right? If you get a
3:54
milk fistula, it'll be worth it because the patient needs her breast cancer
3:57
treat it but you hate to get someone to milk fistula if
4:00
they have something benign like a galactic Seal A lactating
4:03
on normal looks very different from this. It's usually circumscribed essentially
4:06
it looks like an fibranoma. So you
4:09
would hate to give someone a milk special and cause them to not be
4:12
able to nurse for a very low percentage of breast cancer. So that's
4:15
why you have a suspicion start with a small needle FNA
