RESUMO
Malignant neoplasm diagnosed after radiological evaluation of a simple breast cyst is rare. This report described the case of a young patient with an initial simple cystic lesion, whom, in 18-month follow-up examinations, showed a change in the imaging pattern of the cyst, and underwent biopsy, where a triple negative carcinoma was identified. In addition, the diagnosis occurred during pregnancy, which makes the present report even rarer.
RESUMO
Introduction: Some benign breast diseases (BBD) can determine an increased risk of developing breast cancer. Environmental factors related to lifestyle and family history of breast cancer may be associated with BBD development. However, the effect of family history of breast cancer on the risk of benign breast diseases is still unclear. Objective: To evaluate the association between family history of breast cancer and benign breast diseases. Methods: This is an integrative review that selected observational studies in different databases to analyze the association between BBD and family history of breast cancer, considering the different classification criteria for both benign diseases and family history. All studies were published between 1977 and 2016. A total of 13 studies were selected, among which ten are case-control and case-cohort studies; and three are cohort studies. Most studies received high or moderate quality classification according to the Newcastle-Ottawa assessment scale. Results: Family history of breast cancer was associated with the development of proliferative lesions and the presence of atypia, and it was more closely related to the development of benign diseases in young women, with a tendency to decrease with advancing age. Conclusion: Studies suggest there may be an association between family history of breast cancer and benign breast diseases; nevertheless, no statistically significant results were found in many case-control studies, and more robust prospective research is necessary to further clarify this association.
RESUMO
Fibroadenomas are common benign tumors of the female breast. Those that present as rapidly growing breast tumors exceeding 5 cm in diameter or 500 g in weight in young female patients are commonly classified as giant juvenile fibroadenomas. These tumors are rare, and due to their excessive growth, they are usually enucleated to clarify a malignant origin, to differentiate from phyllodes tumor and to prevent persisting deformities of the breast. This report details the surgical approach to this clinical problem in a 14-year-old female with functional preservation of the breast and a good esthetic result.
Fibroadenomas são tumores benignos comuns da mama feminina. Aqueles que apresentam rápido crescimento excedendo a 5 centímetros de diâmetro ou que pesam mais que 500 gramas em mulheres jovens são classificados como fibroadenomas gigantes juvenis. Estes tumores são raros e, devido seu excessivo crescimento, são comumente enucleados para descartar uma origem maligna, diferenciar de tumores filóides e para evitar deformidades da mama. Este relato de caso detalha uma abordagem cirúrgica em uma adolescente de 14 anos com preservação da mama e bom resultado estético
RESUMO
La mastopatía diabética es una lesión fibroinflamatoria de la mama muy infrecuente, que característicamente se presenta en mujeres premenopáusicas y está fuertemente asociada a diabetes mellitus tipo I. La patogénesis es desconocida, sin embargo, histopatológicamente se ha observado una reacción en el tejido conectivo similar al de algunas enfermedades autoinmunes. La clínica y exámenes complementarios pueden ser sugerentes de neoplasia, por lo que se requiere estudio histopatológico para establecer el diagnóstico definitivo.
Diabetic mastopathy is a very infrequent fibro-inflammatory lesion generally found in pre-menopausal women and is strongly associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Its pathogenesis is unknown; however its histopathology shows a connective tissue reaction similar to that of some auto-immune diseases. Its clinical presentation and complementary tests may suggest neoplasm, thus definitive diagnosis requires a histopathological study.

Objetivo: Determinar la importancia y utilidad del ultrasonido mamario como método de imagen complementario en pacientes con mamas densas, ACR 3 y 4. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional longitudinal de tipo prospectivo. Se evaluaron 483 pacientes femeninas que asistieron a la Clínica de Mamas (San Cristóbal, Estado Táchira) durante el periodo de febrero de 2010 a febrero de 2011 con mamas densas en mamografía, sin hallazgo clínico ni radiológico, con evaluación ultrasonográfica complementaria y posterior estudio histopatológico según grado de sospecha de lesión por categorización BI-RADS. Resultados: La edad promedio de las pacientes fue de 45,15 años, menarquía a los 12,57 años y mamas densas ACR 3, la mayoría sin antecedentes de cáncer de mama ni uso de terapia de reemplazo hormonal. Se diagnosticaron 304 lesiones ocultas, el 10,8% con características ultrasonográficas de sospecha y el 2,2% con hallazgos histopatológicos de malignidad. Conclusiones: Se demuestra la importancia del ultrasonido como método complementario de rastreo en pacientes con mama densa.
Objective: To determine the importance and usefulness of breast ultrasounds as supplementary imaging method in patients with dense breasts, ACR 3 and 4. Materials and methods: Prospective observational longitudinal type study. We evaluated 483 female patients in the Clínica de Mama (San Cristobal, Tachira Ste.) from February 2010 to February 2011 with dense breasts in mammography without clinical or radiological findings, with additional ultrasonographic evaluation and a histopathological study according to the degree of lesion suspicion by BIRADS categorization. Results: The average age of the patients was 45.15 years, The menarche age was 12.57 years and ACR 3 breasts. Most patients did not have a background of breast cancer, nor did they use hormone replacement therapy. 304 hidden lesions were diagnosed, 10.8% with suspicious ultrasonographic features and 2.2% with histopathological malignancy findings. Conclusions: The importance of the ultrasound as a complementary screening method is proven in patients with dense breasts.
