35 year old G5P4 presents with new palpable, tender right breast mass
![Page 3: RADY 413 Case Presentation - msrads.web.unc.edu](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071613/61570ad8a097e25c76507a5b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Patient Presentation
History:
• Breast tenderness and right breast mass x 1 month**First noticed marble-sized mass 3 years ago and was told it was benign by local clinic (no diagnostic studies were done); noticed mass
again in March 2020
• A pregnancy test revealed she was 4 weeks pregnant
• No personal nor family history of breast cancer
• Current every day smoker (0.25 ppd, 4.25 pack-years)
Physical Exam:
• An 8 cm mass was palpated in the lateral right breast; R medial and L breast had lactational changes without any palpable masses noted

Differential and Imaging Workup
DDx in 35 year old• Fibroglandular tissue
• Fibroadenoma
• Mastitis/Abscess
• Cyst
• Papilloma
• Breast cancer
Specific to Pregnancy• Focal Mastitis
• Lactational Hyperplasia
• Pregnancy-associated breast cancer
• Galactocele-not likely given she is not breastfeeding
• Lactating adenoma-not likely given she is not 2nd trimester or beyond
Diagnostic ultrasound is the first line imaging modality for the workup of a palpable breast mass in a pregnant or lactating patient.

Outside hospital ultrasound:
Where is the finding?
![Page 6: RADY 413 Case Presentation - msrads.web.unc.edu](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071613/61570ad8a097e25c76507a5b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Outside hospital ultrasound:
• At the site of concern, 8:00 position, there is an irregular, oblong band of heterogeneous breast parenchyma (7x3x1.5 cm)
• In addition, at the 7:00 position, there is an oval hypoechoic avascular mass (0.5 x 0.6 x 0.4 cm)

Assessment and Management
• Based on US and physical exam findings, BIRADS 4A (4=Suspicious, but low suspicion for malignancy) was assigned and biopsy was recommended
• An ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy was performed
![Page 8: RADY 413 Case Presentation - msrads.web.unc.edu](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071613/61570ad8a097e25c76507a5b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pathology Results
• Mixed lobular and ductal carcinoma in situ, grade 2, solid type with central necrosis with focal microinvasion
**Within multiple dilated, anechoic ducts (blue arrows), there are intraductal, echogenic calcifications (red circles)
![Page 9: RADY 413 Case Presentation - msrads.web.unc.edu](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071613/61570ad8a097e25c76507a5b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Next Step?
• To characterize the extent of her disease and for surgical planning, a diagnostic bilateral mammogram* with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) was obtained
*Of note—could have also obtained diagnostic mammogram following the suspicious findings found on US

Right Mammogram – where is the abnormality?

Mammogram Findings:Breast Density: Extremely Dense
• Segmental, fine pleomorphic calcifications in the lower outer quadrant of the right breast with an obscured irregular mass
• No abnormalities were found on the L side

Patient Treatment Course
• Final Pathology = Microinvasive mammary carcinoma of R breast in 9 cm area of pleomorphic calcs, ER/PR +, HER2 + per OSH
• Discussed at UNC Breast Multidisciplinary Conference• Breast Radiology, Medical, Surgical + Radiation Oncology and Pathology discuss
interdisciplinary approach to patients with breast cancer
• Given gestational age, Maternal Fetal Medicine also consulted for best timeline for surgery to optimize health of both mom and baby
• Plan for total mastectomy and sentinel lymph node dissection with adjuvant therapy during the 2nd trimester (safest time for surgery during pregnancy)
• Adjuvant therapy could include chemotherapy +/- radiation

Targeted Therapy Based on Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
• Tissue samples are tested to see if the breast cancer in question is estrogen-receptor (ER), progesterone-receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive or negative
• For ER+ and PR+ BCs (BC that grows in response to estrogen/progesterone), hormone therapy can be utilized• Tamoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), acts as an
antagonist in breast tissue but an agonist in endometrial tissue thereby treating the cancer (albeit with a slightly increased risk of endometrial cancer)
• Aromatase inhibitors (anastrozole, letrozole) block peripheral androgen to estrogen conversion
![Page 16: RADY 413 Case Presentation - msrads.web.unc.edu](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071613/61570ad8a097e25c76507a5b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Targeted Therapy Based on Immunohistochemistry
• For ER-/PR -/HER2+ breast cancer, where cancerous cells overproduce protein called HER2, trastuzumab (Herceptin) and pertuzumab can be used• These drugs are monoclonal antibodies that attach to HER2 receptors on
surface of BC cells and block them from receiving growth signals
• These cancers tend to be aggressive and fast-growing but trastuzumab has shown great efficacy in treating these BCs
• A rare but important side effect to monitor is cardiotoxicity
• Triple-negative BCs (ER-/PR-/HER2-) require different types of chemotherapy like Adriamycin, Cytoxan, Taxol as the aforementioned targeted therapies do not have much efficacy

Discussion: Benign Changes in Pregnancy vs PABC
• Due to hormonal fluctuations of estrogen, progesterone and prolactin during pregnancy, peripartum, postpartum periods and lactation, breast tissue goes through changes including increase in size, nodularity and density leading to lactational hyperplasia
• Benign changes include: fibroadenoma, lactating adenoma, galactocele, mastitis, puerperal abscess, fibrocystic changes
• Malignant changes include: pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC)
• Generally, treatment course for BC is not different if pregnant; most chemotherapeutic agents are only teratogenic in the first trimester and surgery can be performed safely after the first trimester
• If radiation is recommended, generally plan for s/p delivery
