Abstract

After COVID-19 vaccination, a spectrum of axillary lymphadenopathy were observed in patients undergoing routine breast ultrasound. Malignancy remains the most serious differential in cases of unilateral axillary adenopathy. Knowledge of axillary ultrasound findings after COVID-19 vaccination is essential to prevent unnecessary biopsy or change in therapy in oncological patients. From March to May 2021, 10 female patients underwent breast ultrasound in our Department for the evaluation of axillary lumps. All the patients received their first or second dose of COVID-19 vaccine 20–30 days before the exam in the same extremity of the ultrasound evaluation where lymphadenopathy was found. Five patients had a personal history of previous breast cancer, and the radiologist decided to perform a core biopsy (the histology was negative for malignancy). The other five patients with no personal history of cancer underwent ultrasound and returned after a short-term follow-up. Regression of the enlarged lymph nodes was found.

25. The Role of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Patients With B5c Breast Cancer Diagnosis.

Abstract

Background/Aim: The histopathological assessment of the B5c category may sometimes be hampered by simple artifacts that may lead to over- or underestimation of that particular breast cancer so that its management is still controversial, especially with regard to the decision to proceed immediately to sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. Hence, a retrospective study was performed in 174 patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery with a preoperative diagnosis of B5c in order to assess the usefulness of axillary node staging by means of SLN biopsy. Patients and Methods: Pre- and postoperative parameters including imaging data, histology of the primary tumor and SLN biopsy, biological prognostic factors, type of operation, and adjuvant regimens were computed. Results: Invasive carcinoma and carcinoma in situ were diagnosed in 46 (26.5%) and 128 patients (73.5%), respectively. Preoperative tumor size was significantly related to postoperative diagnosis of invasive carcinoma (p=0.020), retaining its predictive value at logistic regression analysis (p=0.046). Post-operative predictive factors of invasion were represented by tumor stage (p=0.008) and grading (p=0.008). Conclusion: B5c preoperative diagnosis in patients undergoing breast conservative surgery would suggest an immediate wide local excision avoiding any further preoperative histologic assessment. Conversely, one-stage SLN biopsy might be suggested for patients eligible to mastectomy, similar to patients with carcinoma in situ, although its impact on the therapeutic and prognostic assessment seems negligible.

34. Triple-negative Breast Cancer Arising in a Fibroadenoma in BRCA 1 Mutated Patient.

Author

Brunetti N, Valente I, Pitto F, and Calabrese M

Abstract

We describe the case of a 35-year-old woman who comes to our institute with a palpable lump on her left breast. Clinically the mass was mobile, nontender and with no nipple discharge. Sonography revealed a circumscribed, oval-shaped, and hypoechoic mass, suggestive of a benign lesion. We performed an ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy that demonstrated multiple foci of high-grade (G3) ductal carcinoma in situ arising on fibroadenoma (FA). Subsequently, the patient had surgical excision of the mass with a final diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer arising on FA. After diagnosis, the patient performs a genetic test that detects the BRCA 1 gene mutation. A review of the literature demonstrated only two cases of triple-negative breast cancer on FA. In this report, we describe another such case., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest., (Copyright: © 2022 Journal of Medical Ultrasound.)
