It consists of the growth of cells or tissues benign in the breast
area. They are growths that do not have a carcinogenic nature,
composed of breast tissue and to help support the breast.
Benign Tumors of
Mother
Phyllodes tumor
They are little breast tumors
common originating in connective
tissue (stroma).
Clinical
manifestations

Phyllodes tumors are more common in women of
41 to 49 years of age, although they can present in
women of any age.
Cysts
They are fluid-filled sacks that
are form within the breasts.

Different techniques of exploration of
the breast and diagnostic
applications.
Palpation
It is done with the palm of the hand or with the
fingertips, in gentle and methodical way, to look for
lesions in the breasts, armpits and supra and
subclavicular regions.
"Sweep" of the chest wall. The patient meets the arms loose at the sides. The
palm of the right hand of the examiner is positioned between the right clavicle
and the sternum of her, and slides down to the nipple to perceive possible
superficial lumps.
Manual digital palpation. One hand is placed with the palmar surface
facing up under the right breast of the patient; with the fingers of
the other hand is passed over the breast tissue to locate possible
lumps, compressing them between the fingers and with the
extended hand.
Lymph node palpation
Axilares centrales. Exploración de ganglios
axilares: con la superficie palmar de los dedos
agrupados e introducidos en la axila hasta el
fondo, se deben colocar justo detrás de los
músculos pectorales.
Supraclavicular node scan: hooked fingers over the
clavicle and rotated over the supraclavicular fossa in
its entirety.
Patient in supine
position
Delimitation of tumors: size, shape, consistency, mobility,
edges, surface, pain, bilaterality and position.
2nd, 3rd and 4th fingertips slightly flexed.
Gentle and firm pressure on the chest wall.
Mental division of the breast into quadrantss
Parallel lines method: first down
and then up to the nipple.
Radial lines method: from the edge of the
hemisphere breast to the nipple.
Circular lines method: start at the outer edge of the
breast tissue with spiral movements towards the nipple.
Gentle expression of the nipple: at the end of the examination
it should be "squeezed" over the breast towards the nipple.
It is important to perform a correct technique of the breast examination to
detect suspicious lumps and, if it were the case, perform the diagnosis and
start the timely treatment
Mammography
Mammography consists of a diagnostic
examination of X-ray imaging of the mammary
gland, using equipment called mammograms.
Screening mammogram: recommended in one patient
asymptomatic without any risk factor and without any clinical
finding, which attends the consultation for any other reason
and is in the age range of 50-69 years.
Diagnostic mammogram: it is that mammogram that is
requests in a patient who attends the consultation with
breast symptoms or presents findings on examination
clinical.
Ultrasound
Breast ultrasound is an imaging technique that translates the different
frequencies of sound generated by an organ, in this case the mammary
gland, at from the emission of ultrasound by a device called a transducer,
which receives the generated echo and makes a two-dimensional or
three-dimensional representation of the breast.
BIRADS
classification for the
ultrasound
Ultrasound pattern: describes the composition of the breast
Mass: defined as a space occupying lesion
Calcifications
Special cases: these are injuries that present a
specific ultrasound appearance
Vascularization
Resonance magnetic
Diagnostic imaging tool, which is based on waves of radiofrequency
emitted by the protons of the tissue examined, after being exposed to a
magnetic field
Categories
Focus: puntiform uptake
Mass: three-dimensional space-occupying lesion
Associated findings: they may appear isolated or
associated with an anomalous uptake
Location
Uptake kinetics: initial phase and tariff phase
Recommendations for conducting
the scan
Consent of the patient.
You can come on any day of the menstrual cycle
You can go during the gestational and lactation periods.
The clinical examination should be performed without gloves, since
when using them loses sensitivity.
You should consider the signs and symptoms of the period
before and transmenstrual (the menopausal woman is
performed on any day of the month).
