Schultz
? Axil a to inguinal region
? In humans, these ridge disappears except
for a small portion over pectoral region

Formation of mammary gland

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? Persisting part of the mammary ridge is first
converted into a mammary pit
? Secondary buds(15-20) grow down from floor of the
pit
? These buds divide & subdivide to form lobes

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? Entire solid system is canalized later
Growth of mammary gland, at puberty caused by;
? Estrogen ? development of ductal system.
? Progesterone ? stimulates development of secretary

intercostal space
? Contains circular and
longitudinal muscles
? Pierced by 15-20 lactiferous
ducts

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? Supplied by 4th intercostal
nerve
Infiltration of the lactiferous duct by tumor and subsequent fibrosis causes
RECENT RETRACTION OF THE NIPPLE

q AREOLA

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? Skin surrounding the base
of the nipple
? Pigmented circular area
? Contains sebaceous, sweat
and accessory glands

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

MONTGOMERY'S TUBERCLES are sebaceous gland that are enlarged during pregnancy and lactation.
They produce oily secretions that lubricate nipple and areola and prevent it from cracking


PARENCHYMA
? Compound tubulo -alveolar gland

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? 15-20 lobes - each has a cluster of
alveoli, and is drained by a lactiferous
duct
? Lobule- basic structural unit
? 10- 100 lobules ductules

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

lactiferous duct.
? Lactiferous sinus is the terminal
dilatation of the duct. It act as a
reservoir for milk or abnormal
discharge

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---




? Terminal duct + lobule = Terminal Duct Lobular Unit
(TDLU)
Most cancers and benign lesions arise in the terminal duct either inside or just

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

proximal to the lobule.


STROMA
i. Fibrous stroma
1. Supporting framework of the

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

gland
2. Forms septa known as the
suspensory ligaments of Cooper
3. Anchor the skin to the pectoral
fascia

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

ii. Fatty stroma
1. Main bulk of the gland
2. Distributed all over the breast;
3. except beneath the areola &
nipple

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

Infiltration of the suspensory ligaments of Cooper by tumor cells
result in puckering or dimpling of the skin

intercostal arteries



q VENOUS DRAINAGE
? Veins follow the arteries. First they converge

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

around the nipple to form an anastomotic
venous circle and then form 2 sets of veins
? Superficial veins - internal thoracic vein and
into the superficial veins of the lower part of
neck

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? Deep veins - axillary and posterior intercostal
veins




Batson's vertebral venous plexus

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? Network of valveless veins

blood vessels
Nerves do not control the secretion of milk (controlled by prolactin
hormone)

q LYMPHATIC VESSELS
? Superficial lymphatics ?
skin over the breast
? Deep lymphatics -
parenchyma, nipple and areola

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Subareolar plexus of Sappey -
a lymphatic plexus deep to areola

? The subareolar plexus of Sappey and outer quadrant of breast ->

OF
CARCINOMA BREAST

ROLL NO: 3


AETIOLOGICAL FACTORS
1.Geographical

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? commonly seen in Western world
2.Age
- rare < 20 years
then incidence with age
by 90 years ? 20 % women

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

are affected

3.Gender
females > males {< 0.5 %}
4. Genetic
BRCA 1

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

BRCA 2
p53

5.Family history
- more common in women with a family h/o breast & ovarian
cancer

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

- 3-5 times more risk if first degree relative has Ca.breast
- accounts for less than 5% of all breast cancer
6. Diet
low in phyto-oestrogens
7. Alcohol intake

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

increase the risk of developing Ca. breast

8. Endocrine
Protective factors :
- breast feeding
- first child at early age

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

- late menarche
- early menopause
Risk factors:
- nulliparous women
- obesity ( increased conversion

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

of steroids to estradiol in body
fat )


9. Oral contraceptives and HRT
The benefits of these treatment will far outweigh

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

the small putative risk; however ,long term
exposure to combined preparation of HRT does
significantly increase the risk.

10. Previous exposure to radiation
- Hodgkin's disease ? radiotherapy ? increased risk ? decade

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

after treatment
- higher risk if radiotherapy received during breast
development


PATHOLOGY

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? Arises from the
epithelium of duct
system
? From the nipple end of
the major lactiferous

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

duct to the terminal
duct unit which is in the
breast lobule

PATHOGENESIS
? Genetic changes

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? Hormonal influences
? Environmental variables

Genetic changes
? Over expression of HER2/NEU proto-oncogene
? Mutations of tumor suppressor genes like P53

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Gene array analysis of breast cancers has identified five
major subtypes:
1. luminal A : ER+ , Her-2-ve
2. luminal B : ER+ ,PR+ , Her-2+
3. Her-2 receptor positive: ER-ve

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

4. triple negative : ER-ve , PR -ve , Her-2 -ve
5. miscellaneous group

? Mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes
- responsible for one third
of hereditary breast Ca

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

- BRCA1 gene ?
at chromosome 17 (50-80% risk)
- BRCA2 gene ?
at chromosome 13
Both are classic tumour suppressor genes and cancer arises

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

only when both alleles are inactivated or defective

Hormonal influences
? Increased exposure to estrogen
? Stimulate production of growth factors ( TGF- ,PDGF
, FGF )

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? Promote tumor development

SPREAD OF BREAST CANCER
By 3 means :
Local spread
Lymphatic metastasis

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

Spread by bloodstream

LOCAL SPREAD
Tumour increases in size
Invades other portions of breast
? It tends to involve skin

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? May penetrate pectoral muscles and
even the chest wall if diagnosed late

LYMPHATIC METASTASIS
? Primarily to axillary and internal mammary lymph
nodes

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Tumours in the posterior one third of the breast drain
to the internal mammary nodes



SPREAD BY THE BLOODSTREAM
? By this route skeletal metastases occur

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Lumbar vertebrae, femur, thoracic vertebrae, rib and skull; deposits
are osteolytic
? Common sites : liver , lungs, brain , adrenal glands and ovary



TRANSCOELOMIC SPREAD

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Through mediastinal LN into peritoneal cavity.
? Cause secondaries in liver, peritoneum, ovary (Krukenberg tumours)
Note :
-- Present concept of Krukenberg ? haematogenous and lymphatic

modes.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

-- Older concepts of transcoelomic spread no longer accepted
