What are the causes, incidence and risk factors of Breast-Lumps? |
| |
Lumps in a woman are often caused by fibrocystic changes, fibroadenomas, and cysts.
.Fibrocystic changes can occur in either or both breasts. These changes occur in many women (especially during the reproductive years) and are considered a normal variation of breast tissue).
.Fibroadenomas are non-cancerous lumps that feel rubbery and are easily moveable within the breast tissue
.Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that often feel like soft grapes.
Other causes of breast lumps include:
?Milk cysts (sacs filled with milk) and infections (mastitis), which may turn into an abscess. These typically occur if you are breastfeeding or have recently given birth.
?Breast cancer, for which a mammogram or ultrasound and then a biopsy are recommended. Men can get breast cancer as well.
?Injury -- sometimes if your breast is badly bruised, there will be a collection of blood that feels like a lump. These tend to resolve on their own in a matter of days or weeks. If not, the blood may have to be drained by your doctor.
?Lipoma -- a collection of fatty tissue.
?Intraductal papilloma -- a small growth inside a milk duct of the breast. Often occurs near the areola, the colored part of the breast surrounding the nipple, in women between the ages of 35 and 55. It is harmless and frequently cannot be felt. In some cases the only symptom is a watery, pink discharge from the nipple. |

Diagnosis & Tests |
| |
The following methods are used to evaluate breast lumps:
1.Clinical Breast Exam: A manual breast exam preformed in clinic by your doctor or nurse practitioner.
2.Diagnostic Mammogram: A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. A diagnostic mammogram is used to evaluate a woman with a breast problem or symptom or an abnormal finding on a screening mammogram. It usually includes additional views of one or both breasts.
3.Ultrasound: Ultrasound is also used to diagnose suspected breast cancer and other breast abnormalities. This test uses high-frequency sound waves to form an image of breast tissues that is displayed on a video screen and photographed for analysis. Because of the different ways various tissue components interact with sound waves, ultrasound can often reveal whether a lump is solid or a fluid-filled, noncancerous cyst.
4.Fine Needle Biopsy: If breast cancer is suspected, a biopsy is usually done. A fine-needle biopsy involves the extraction of fluid or cells from a lump that can be felt or seen with ultrasound or on a mammogram. A local anesthetic numbs the area before the needle is inserted. If you have a cyst, fluid will come out and the lump will disappear. If the needle extracts cells, the sample is inspected by a pathologist to determine if it is benign or malignant.
5.Core Biopsy: A core biopsy is virtually the same test as the fine needle biopsy, but a larger needle is used to removes a small cylinder of breast tissue.
6.Stereotactic Needle Biopsy: This type of biopsy is done when the lump is so small that the doctor cannot insert the biopsy needle accurately. An imaging technique and a computer are used to guide the needle. In this procedure, you lie face down on a special table with an opening that lets the breast hang down. A mammogram shows the location of the lump and a computer guides the needle.
6.Surgical Biopsy: In this type of biopsy, all or part of a breast lump is removed surgically for microscopic examination to determine whether cancer is present.
