All right. This is a different patient. This was
0:04
an 80 year old male represented with a right breast, Mass.
0:07
and
0:08
his left breast is all
0:11
you know, he's got bilateral. So what causes this
0:14
appearance?
0:20
I'm gonna come out see a breast cancer both or neither.
0:26
Oops, I'm sorry. That was yeah. So so
0:29
it actually they're correct
0:32
answer is actually see so one person got it. Right and I want
0:35
I'm showing you this because I think this is a great place of
0:38
on the left. Sorry on the
0:42
left. He's got gynego massia. He's got that flame
0:45
shapes retro or density, but on the right, he's
0:48
got a true math where you know, there are real borders. You
0:51
can it's not a symmetry.
0:54
It's more of a mass. So when it's a mass you definitely want to
0:57
do an ultrasound so I you know, we'll talk a little bit more about gynecomastia and
1:00
ultrasound but this is
1:03
actually both because the right side is breast cancer and the left
1:06
side is kind of a mess. Yeah. So I'm Gonna Save the
1:09
question just for sake of time but you're by
1:12
red. I mean this is not going to go math. Yeah. I
1:15
mean it could be but you definitely would like to buy it see it. So in
1:18
this case you really want to give it a four kind of a nasty.
1:21
It does not look this math like it can and like the nodular phase,
1:24
but you
1:26
Really want to confirm this with the biopsy. This was a case of
1:29
male breast cancer.
1:30
So this would be a birads four or five.
1:34
So like I said, this is kind of a messiah. This
1:37
is a birets too. This is bilateral. It's
1:40
right breast cancer and left breast gynecomastia. This
1:43
is definitely a four or five
1:46
so
1:50
In terms of Imaging for for males,
1:53
you always want to start if
1:56
they're over age 25 you want to start with
1:59
a Mamo? A mammo is
2:02
usually the most Diagnostic Imaging modality for
2:05
gynecomastia ultrasound can be really confusing. So
2:08
I don't always do an ultrasound. I do an ultrasound if
2:11
it's not a hundred percent gynecomastia on
2:14
mammogram, but the ultrasound picture might be more confusing. So,
2:17
you know in that second case
2:20
where it was breast cancer, you definitely want to do an ultrasound because it certainly
2:23
does not look like an eagle Mass yet. But if it's gynecomastia on
2:26
mammogram stop don't do anything else. It's by Reds
2:29
to next case nothing else to do.
2:32
The difference is between gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is
2:35
usually bilateral but asymmetric, so there's usually one side
2:38
that's worse than the other usually see sub-areolar flame
2:41
shaped densities. Like I said, the mammo is
2:44
usually diagnostic ultrasound can often be confusing and as
2:48
opposed to breast cancer. So breast cancer is usually unilateral. You're
2:51
gonna see a math with true borders ultrasound
2:54
is necessary. If the mammo is
2:57
not diagnostic, which it should not be in breast cancer cases.
3:00
It's because it's not gynecomastia.
3:04
Um causes of gynecomastia. So most commonly, it's
3:07
just idiopathic. We always like to make jokes about
3:10
you know, drugs cause it like marijuana prostate cancer
3:13
meds anything that really messes with your estrogen estrogen
3:16
and testosterone levels will cause
3:19
there to be a that can
3:23
cause extra estrogen can cause gynecomastia so
3:26
liver disease testicular adrenal disease
3:29
and also male breast cancer causes can
3:32
cause gynecomastia on the other side because of the hormone.
3:36
So male breast cancer accounts for one person of
3:39
all breast cancers most are going to be invasive ductal men
3:42
don't have lobuil so they don't get invasive labular
3:45
cancer. They also don't get benign masses
3:48
like cyst or Fiber adenomas if you see something and it's not
3:51
going to go messy. You're probably gonna buy it yet unless it's clearly like an
3:54
instrument lymph node or something like that and male tend
3:57
to have a worse prognosis and certainly when a male
4:00
gets breast cancer. Their whole family is going to be genetic tested because it's unusual.
4:03
I've always seen a few cases.
