Therefore, the approach used to address breast lesions in pediatric patients differs from that in adults in many ways. Knowledge of the normal imaging features at various stages of development and the characteristics of breast disease in the pediatric population can help the radiologist to make confident diagnoses and manage patients appropriately. Most breast diseases in children are benign or associated with breast development, suggesting a need for conservative treatment. Interventional procedures might affect the developing breast and are only indicated in a limited number of cases. Histologic examination should be performed in pediatric patients, taking into account the size of the lesion and clinical history together with the imaging findings. A core needle biopsy is useful for accurate diagnosis and avoidance of irreparable damage in pediatric patients. Biopsy should be considered in the event of abnormal imaging findings, such as non-circumscribed margins, complex solid and cystic components, posterior acoustic shadowing, size above 3 cm, or an increase in mass size. A clinical history that includes a risk factor for malignancy, such as prior chest irradiation, known concurrent cancer not involving the breast, or family history of breast cancer, should prompt consideration of biopsy even if the lesion has a probably benign appearance on ultrasonography.

  • Bilateral Congenital Amazia: a Case Report and Systematic Review of the Literature
    Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery (2014) 67,27e33 REVIEW Bilateral congenital amazia: A case report and systematic review of the literature Stephanie E. Dreifuss, Zoe M.

One must consider the optimal age of reconstruction as well as the Breast; ideal surgical technique. Amazia, a very rare condition characterised by a complete lack of breast Amazia; tissue in the presence of a nipple areolar complex (NAC), is one such congenital breast anomaly. Reconstruction Methods: A comprehensive systematic review of the literature was performed to examine the various approaches to reconstruction of congenital breast anomalies. From this review, the data compiled included patient demographics and operative details, including type of reconstruction, treatment of the contralateral breast and treatment of the NAC. A case of bilateral amazia is also reported. Results: Of 178 articles, 13 ultimately met the inclusion criteria and 54 individual patient recon- structions were identified from these papers. At the time of reconstruction, the patients were in the range of 13e54 years, with an average age of 27.6 years. Prosthetic and autologous recon- structions were equally represented (19 patients each, 35.2%; Table 2). Autologous reconstruc- tion with prosthesis was slightly less common (15 patients, 27.8%). One patient was reconstructed using autologous lipo-augmentation only. Of the 36 cases in which the approach to the NAC was addressed, most (66.7%) were not recon- structed.

A firm understanding of benign breast disease is important since sequential steps are necessary to distinguish lesions which impart a high risk of subsequent breast cancer from those which do not. Purpose: To know the characteristics of benign breast diseases which were treated surgically. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 111 patients with benign breast disease who were treated surgically from June 2016 to June 2018. Patients who did not required surgery were excluded. Histo- pathopathological reports were collected from pathology. Results: Majority of patients with benign breast disease, who were treated surgically, had fibro adenoma. The disease was more common in the age group 20-29 years. The most common site was upper outer quadrant and side was right. Conclusion: This study delineated that majority of patients with benign breast disease, who were treated surgically, had fibro adenoma.
