A breast mass, also known as a breast lump, is a localized swelling that feels different from the surrounding tissue. [1] Breast pain , nipple discharge , or skin changes may be present. [ 1 ] Concerning findings include masses that are hard, do not move easily, are of an irregular shape, or are firmly attached to surrounding tissue.
Fibroadenoma of the breast is a benign tumor composed of a biplastic proliferation of both stromal and epithelial components. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] This biplasia can be arranged in two growth patterns: pericanalicular (stromal proliferation around epithelial structures) and intracanalicular (stromal proliferation compressing the epithelial structures ...
Mammotome is a Cincinnati, Ohio–based company who pioneered a vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VAC) device that uses image guidance such as x-ray, ultrasound and/or MRI to perform breast biopsies. A biopsy using a Mammotome® device can be done on an outpatient basis with a local anesthetic. The Mammotome brand is sold in over 45 countries.
Papillomatosis of the breast (PB) is a rare, benign, epitheliosis-like lesion, i.e. an overgrowth of the cells lining the ducts of glands that resembles a papilla (i.e. small rounded protuberance) or nipple-like nodule/tumor. PB tumors develop in the apocrine glands of the breast.
MSCs typically develop as ductal breast tumors that have invaded the tissue around their ducts of origin, may have spread to nearby sentinel lymph nodes or axillary lymph nodes but have rarely metastasized (i.e. spread) to distant tissues. [6] They are usually small, slow-growing, painless, [5] well-circumscribed, movable breast masses. [4]
Breast cancer was the only type for which treatment advances prevented more deaths. Quitting smoking was found to be the most beneficial prevention strategy overall, credited for averting 3.45 ...

Medullary breast carcinoma is a rare type of breast cancer [1] that is characterized as a relatively circumscribed tumor [2] with pushing, rather than infiltrating, margins. It is histologically characterized as poorly differentiated cells with abundant cytoplasm and pleomorphic high grade vesicular nuclei. [ 3 ]
