[ 1 ] Concerning findings include masses that are hard, do not move easily, are of an irregular shape, or are firmly attached to surrounding tissue.
The risk of developing local recurrence or metastases is related the histologic grade and mitotic activity of the tumor. [15] Despite proper surgical excision, a high percentage of surgeries performed to treat a phyllodes tumor demonstrate incomplete excision margins that require additional revision surgery. [ 23 ]
Duct ectasia of the breast, mammary duct ectasia or plasma cell mastitis is a condition that occurs when a milk duct beneath the nipple widens, the duct walls thicken, and the duct fills with fluid. This is the most common cause of greenish discharge. [1] Mammary duct ectasia can mimic breast cancer. It is a disorder of peri- or post-menopausal ...
