Breast PACES • Introduction and explanation • Inspection – sitting up and on movement • Palpation – lying at 45 degrees with a reasonable technique. Ask patient to put their arm to their head. • Axillary lymph nodes - approach • “o complete my examination, I would like to...” • Assess for liver enlargement, pleural effusions and spinal tenderness (malignancy). • Help patient get dressed and respect privacy.Breast Examination Triple assessment Physical assessment (Age, History, Examination) Radiological assessment (USS, Mammogram) Histological assessment (Fine needle aspirate, Core biopsy) 1.

No imaging B. USS C. Mammogram D. USS and Mammogram E. CT Benign Breast Disease • Fibroadenoma • Breast cyst/fibrocystic disease • Mastitis/abscess • Fat necrosis • Duct ectasia • Chronic inflammatory condition – granulomatous disease, similar appearance to breast cancer, needs biopsy. Usually self-limiting, consider steroids. Fibroadenoma • Benign, solid lump, often referred to as breast mouse. • Commoner inAsian and Afro-Caribbean women. • No increase in risk of developing breast cancer. • A second biopsy is indicated if there is an increase in size. • Diagnostic excision required if over 4cm in size. Fibrocystic disease • Benign fluid filled lump, often multiple • Can be aspirated if there is a large cyst – straw-coloured/green fluid • No increase in risk of developing breast cancer Mastitis/Abscess • Mastitis is infection of the soft tissue without an underlying collection. • Can be lactational or non-lactational. • More common in smokers, post-partum, AI disease, granulomatous disease, skin disease. • Lactational mastitis: caused by skin commensals, advise to express/feed milk, give Abx (usually flucloxacillin unless pen allergic). • If abscess (underlying collection) or no response to Tx, needs referral to breast clinic. • Abscesses may require incision and drainage. • If septic, need to attend A&E. Fat necrosis • A non-suppurative inflammation of adipose tissue caused by the disruption of oxygen supply to fat cells --> cell death. • It is commonly present in female patients who undergo breast procedures or after injury/trauma to breast tissue. • Can be associated with malignancy. • May get associated erythema or bruising around lump/thickened soft tissue. Duct ectasia • Occurs when a milk duct in the breast widens and its walls thicken. • This can cause the duct to become blocked and lead to fluid build-up. • Can get green/brown discharge. • Exact cause is unknown. • Most common in breast feeding mothers and smokers. • Encourage breast-feeding to help with stagnancy of milk in the ducts.
