Postoperative complications of breast ductal adenocarcinoma

There are many mammary ducts in the breast, which play a very important role. Of course, if the breasts are not properly cared for in daily life, the mammary ducts will suffer from some diseases. Mammary duct adenocarcinoma is a relatively common breast disease. There are no symptoms in the early stages of the disease, so it will bring certain difficulties to the examination and diagnosis. Currently, surgical treatment is adopted for mammary duct adenocarcinoma.

Postoperative complications of breast ductal adenocarcinoma

1. Intraductal papilloma of the breast refers to a benign tumor occurring in the ductal epithelium. The most effective treatment for intraductal papilloma of the breast is surgical resection. If a lump can be felt during clinical examination, surgical removal of the diseased catheter can be performed and the lump can be sent for examination, pending pathology report.

2. The main treatment for intraductal papilloma is surgical resection. If the surgical resection is not thorough, there will be a high recurrence rate and a certain probability of malignancy. There are many surgical methods for the clinical treatment of intraductal papilloma, mainly including lobectomy (segmental) resection, quadrantectomy, subcutaneous mastectomy or simple mastectomy. The choice of surgical procedure is mainly based on the nature of the lesion, the extent of the lesion and the precise positioning.

3. As the preoperative qualitative diagnosis of intraductal papillary neoplasms is difficult and mainly depends on intraoperative frozen pathological section examination, the choice of surgical procedure is more difficult and there is a certain controversy in clinical practice. In recent years, with the gradual maturity of the application of fiberoptic ductoscopy in clinical diagnosis, preoperative biopsy and auxiliary positioning technology, surgical methods have tended to be minimally invasive, effectively reducing the scope of surgical resection.

Causes of Breast Ductal Tumors

The cause of intraductal papilloma is still unclear.

The clinical manifestations of intraductal papilloma are mainly abnormal nipple discharge and breast lumps. Clinically, unexplained abnormal nipple discharge is often the first symptom, and most discharges are bloody, with a few being serous or alternating between the two. Among pathological nipple discharge, about 50% is caused by intraductal papilloma.

About 1/3 of solitary intraductal papillomas can be felt as lumps in the areola area. The lumps are mostly round, tough, smooth and have clear boundaries. If secondary infection occurs, there will be tenderness, and they may also adhere to the skin or appear to be thickened glands. The lumps of intraductal papilloma are mostly in the peripheral area of ​​the breast and are rarely palpable. Larger lumps may be related to blocked milk ducts and fluid retention.
