Oncoplastic Breast Surgery (OBS) is becoming an integral part of breast cancer management, but training is difficult and not easily available. We propose a bold management policy: the introduction of the reduction mammaplasty into a Breast Cancer Unit (BCU) as treatment for symptomatic macromastia. This management policy could bring about clear advantages both to patients (larged-breasted patients and those with a breast cancer) and surgeons. 相似文献
Juvenile gigantomastia in a 12-year-old girl was treated by a bilateral reduction mammoplasty with free transplantation of the areolae and nipples and the removal of 3,980 g of breast tissue. Regrowth of the residual breast tissue has been suppressed by the administration of tamoxifen, an antiestrogen drug, since the surgery. This case was positive for estrogen receptors (ER) by the dextran-coated charcoal method, while tissue staining for ER and estradiol resulted in a darker staining of the epithelial contents, especially of fibroadenoma-like nodules, using an immunocytochemical assay. It is thus suggested that the etiology of this disease might be related to a local hypersensitivity to estrogen. 相似文献
Increasing numbers of women of all ages are electing to have reduction mammaplasty for very large breasts. Breast cancer can be an incidental finding in reduction mammaplasty specimens. We report here the discovery of breast cancer in specimens from four patients who underwent elective breast reduction, three of whom had not had recent mammograms. All four patients underwent modified radical mastectomy. The role of mammography, surgical options, specimen evaluation, and practical guidelines are discussed. 相似文献
Aim: The objective of this study was to analyze the incidence and treatment options of occult cancer or atypical lesions found in the histopathological examination of reduction mammoplasty (RM) specimens. The role of preoperative mammography and systematic histopathological examination are discussed.
Methods: We performed a retrospective single-center database review of all patients who underwent a RM between January 2005 and December 2014. Preoperative examination, histopathological findings and follow-up were documented.
Results: A total of 1045 patients underwent RM, of which 97% were bilateral (1021). All patients received a mammography and routine clinical examination to exclude cancer preoperatively. The overall mean patient age was 40.2 years (14.2–73.4). A total of 19 patients (1.18%) had significant histopathological findings, all of whom were over 40 years of age. There were 4 incidental carcinomas (0.38%), of which 2 were DCIS (0.19%) and 2 invasive ductal carcinomas (0.19%).
Conclusions: Incidence of postoperative diagnosis of occult breast cancer in RM specimens remains low, but poses significant therapeutic challenges. While emphasis should lay on preoperative diagnostics, routine histological analysis of RM specimens is recommended. 相似文献
