Unless drained, the abscess can become large and invade the breast. An underlying cancer with secondary infection should be considered.
BREAST SYNDROMES
The Female Breast
Breast masses. Breast masses arise from benign and malignant neoplastic
change in the ductal or acinar epithelium, cystic changes, duct obstruction, infection, bleeding, inltration by abnormal cells, or accumulation of intra- or extracellular substances, especially brosis. Some masses retain hormonal con­trol; many do not.
lesions. Cysts are overwhelmingly benign and aspiration of nonbloody uid with disappearance of the mass is diagnostic. Smooth regular borders and tenderness suggest an broadenoma. Tenderness is characteristic of inam­matory breast disease, with or without infection, but uncommon with cancer. Histology by aspiration cytology or biopsy is necessary to conrm benignity.
Premalignant and malignant masses. Most malignant neoplasms arise from
the ductal epithelium, some having a strong genetic contribution (BRCA-1, BRCA-2). Atypical ductal hyperplasia is associated with an increased risk of subsequent in-situ or invasive ductal carcinoma. Lobular neoplasia, arising in the acinar lobules, is usually noninvasive but is associated with an increased risk for invasive ductal carcinoma. Malignant lymphoma may involve the lymph nodes and other breast tissues. The primary distinctions are between
malignant and nonmalignant masses and invasive and noninvasive malig­nancies. The virtue in diagnosing a benign breast condition lies in excluding malignancy, which requires tissue. Discrete dominant lesions require biopsy for histologic diagnosis. Normal or nondiagnostic mammography must not prevent biopsy of a clinically suspicious mass. Neither surgeons nor radiolo­gists have the certainty of pathologists. The evaluation of breast masses and their management is constantly evolving. Expert consultation is advised.
The important distinction is between benign and malignant
Breast cancer. There may be a dominant nontender breast mass in the breast. Suspensory ligament inltration causes retraction revealed by dim­pling, nipple deviation, and xation to the pectoral muscles. Flattening of the nipple and a bloody or clear discharge indicate disease in the lactifer­ous tubules. Lymphatic obstruction produces cutaneous edema seen as peau d’orange (Fig. 8-58). Regional lymphadenopathy suggests lymphatic metas­tases. A solitary breast mass mandates a diagnostic biopsy. Occasionally, the presenting sign is a bloody discharge, enlarged lymph axillary nodes, or skin inammation without a mass. years of age is 1%, and there is a steady rise with increasing age; it is estimat­ed that 1 in 9–10 women will eventually develop breast cancer. The median age at which the various pathologic breast abnormalities appear in women is known, and on that basis, probabilities are estimated. The data in Table 8-5 is from patients operated on at New York Medical College–Flower Fifth Avenue Hospitals during the period 1960–1975.
Inammatory breast carcinoma. Breast cancer can present as an acute in­ammatory disease, especially in the lactating breast. The appearance is like acute mastitis except that the entire breast is swollen and there is early

involvement of the axillary lymph nodes. DDX: In acute mastitis, inam­mation is usually limited to a single breast quadrant and lymphadenopathy is uncommon.
Fibrocystic breast disease. This includes a broad spectrum of benign patho­logic conditions of the female breast. The specic pathologic diagnosis depends on the preponderance of one component over others. If the pathol­ogy is conned to stromal proliferation, broadenoma, virginal hypertrophy of the breast, and intracanalicular broadenoma may be diagnosed. When an abnormal ductal system predominates, micro or macrocystic disease, cys­tic mastitis, sclerosing adenosis, intraductal papilloma, and ductal ectasia involving the lactiferous sinus describe the changes. If the main change is in the terminal ductule and glandular elements, lobular hyperplasia is identi­ed. Finally, myoepithelium hyperplasia leads to a diagnosis of myoepithelial hyperplasia of Reclus.
Fibroadenoma. Usually found in a young woman with large breasts, the ovoid or lobulated nodule has a rm, elastic, or rubbery consistency. It can be the size of a pinhead or quite large. The mass is nontender and freely mov­able, slipping easily in the breast tissue. It must be distinguished from dyspla­sia, carcinoma, and cystosarcoma phyllodes.
FIG. 8-58 Peau d’Orange. Cutaneous edema of the breast is indicated by skin that is indented deeply with holes, the
accentuated orifices of the sweat glands, giving the appearance of an orange.

Fluctuant breast mass. Cysts are very common and must be distinguished from another uctuant mass, e.g., lipoma or abscess. Fluctuance is demon­strated by holding the edges of the mass tightly to the chest wall with one hand while pressing its center with the ngers of the other hand. Abscess is often quite tender and has erythema. True lipomas are exceedingly rare, accounting for <1% of all breast lesions. Transillumination suggesting a cyst is conrmed by ultrasound or aspiration.
Galactorrhea.
estrogen from the ovaries and placenta support lactation. Milk ejection is initiated by mechanical nipple stimulation sending afferent impulses to the hypothalamus, causing release of oxytocin from the posterior pituitary.
Prolactin levels must be checked in patients with galactorrhea or amenorrhea. Pituitary prolactinomas elevate prolactin levels leading to galactorrhea and suppressing ovulation. Many physiologic states, clinical disorders, and drugs are associated with milk secretion.
CLINICAL OCCURRENCE: Endocrine: Pregnancy, adolescence, hypothy-
roidism, hyperthyroidism; Degenerative/Idiopathic: Uterine atrophy with amenorrhea and lactation (Frommel disease); Infectious: Herpes zoster, post­encephalitis; Inammatory/Immune: Mastitis; Mechanical/Traumatic: Mechanical nipple stimulation, suckling, chest wall trauma, thoracoplasty, pneumonec­tomy, mammoplasty, irradiation; Metabolic/Toxic: Drugs (phenothiazines, reserpine, methyldopa, oral contraceptive, tricyclic antidepressants, antihis­tamines, opiates); Neoplastic: Pituitary prolactinoma.
Fat necrosis. Breast trauma produces a hematoma and fat necrosis result­ing in a scar that adheres to the surrounding tissue causing retraction which suggests carcinoma. Patients commonly attribute masses that turn out to be malignant to some remote traumatic incident, so a history of trauma should not deter further evaluation. Even though fat necrosis is inconsequential, excisional biopsy may be necessary.
Diabetic brous breast disease. Some women with type-1 diabetes develop diabetic brous breast disease presenting as one or more painless hard mobile irregular breast masses. Histology shows intralobular and perilobular B-lymphocyte inammatory nodules with brosis in the breast fat.
Mastitis. In acute suppurative mastitis the breast is ushed, tender, hot, swol­len, and indurated, frequently accompanied by chills, fever, and diaphoresis. Usually a single breast quadrant is involved. Inammation often proceeds to abscess formation. Approximately two-thirds of cases occur during lactation. Inammatory carcinoma must be considered, especially in the presence of nontender axillary lymphadenopathy.
Prolactin from the anterior pituitary and progesterone and
Abscess. Usually a sequel of acute mastitis, there is a localized, hot, exquisite­ly tender and painful uctuant mass frequently accompanied by chills and fever with leukocytosis.
Chronic breast abscess. Pus may become enclosed by a thick wall of brous tissue, presenting a nontender, irregular, rm mass requiring biopsy to ex­clude carcinoma.
Breast Syndromes 389

Juvenile mastitis. A tender unilateral rm mass with signs of inammation occurs beneath the nipple in young boys and in women 20–30 years of age. The condition is benign and resolves in a few weeks.
The Male Breast

because of the paucity of breast tissue. It begins as a painless induration with nipple retraction and xation to the skin and deep tissues. The mass does not transilluminate. It must be distinguished from gynecomastia by ne-needle aspiration biopsy or excision. Mammography in the male is usually not helpful.
The mass is apparent early
Gynecomastia.
estrogen levels associated with puberty, liver disease, drugs, and endocrine abnormalities lead to proliferation of breast tissue in men. Gynecomastia is
dened as a transient or permanent noninammatory enlargement of the male breast. Physical exam reveals a nely lobulated often tender subareolar mass that is mobile on the chest wall. Increased nipple sensitivity is frequently noted by the patient. The mass may be small and unilateral. Gynecomastia developing bilaterally can reach the dimensions of the female breast. Hard masses or those with skin or chest wall xation must be excised to exclude carcinoma.
CLINICAL OCCURRENCE: Idiopathic gynecomastia, appearing frequently
at puberty, is usually unilateral. Hormonal stimulation with estrogens causes bilateral enlargement after castration, and in Cushing syndrome, hyperthyroidism, and testicular choriocarcinoma. Breast enlargement also occurs in liver cirrhosis. Refeeding gynecomastia occurs when patients with severe malnutrition are rst fed. Gynecomastia may occur in association with leukemia, lymphoma, pulmonary carcinoma, familial lumbosacral syringomyelia, and Graves disease. Among the drugs occasionally causing gynecomastia are digitalis, isoniazid, spironolactone, phenothiazine, and diazepam.
Circulating estrogens control breast development. Increased

The Abdomen, Perineum, Anus,
and Rectosigmoid
The history and physical exam are the foundation for differential diagnosis and efcient use of laboratory and imaging studies in evaluating abdominal symp­toms. History delineates the character and sequence of symptoms. Knowing the anatomy and normal and abnormal physiology of the gut and its appended organs is essential to interpreting abdominal ndings. As a condition evolves, frequent repetition of the exam yields valuable additional information.
The abdominal cavity is a shallow oval basin with a rigid W-shaped bottom made up of the vertebral column and back muscles. Heavy ank muscles form the sides and the diaphragm and pelvic oor muscles close either end. The brim is formed by the lower rib margins superiorly, and the pubic bones and ilia inferi­orly. The anterior abdominal wall muscles and fascia, reinforced by two parallel rectus muscles attached to the ribs and pelvis, cover the abdominal cavity.
The abdominal viscera are solid or hollow. The solid viscera, the liver, spleen, kidneys, adrenals, pancreas, ovaries, and uterus, usually retain their shape and position as they enlarge. The liver, spleen, kidneys, and adrenals are shielded by the rib cage. The hollow viscera, the stomach, small intestines, colon, gallbladder, bile ducts, fallopian tubes, ureters, and urinary bladder, are not palpable unless distended by gas, uid or solid masses.
Two systems are used to describe abdominal topography (Fig. 9-1). We use the division into quadrants by axial and transverse lines through the umbilicus.
MAJOR SYSTEMS AND THEIR PHYSIOLOGY
Alimentary System: The alimentary system converts ingested food into
absorbable nutrients and fuels, and solid waste. This complex process includes ingestion, mastication, bulk transport, storage, mechanical disrup­tion, mixing, and digestion of ingested food and absorption of nutrients coor­dinated with production, storage, transport, and carefully timed release of digestive enzymes and bile acids. It is a functional barrier to microorganisms, parasites, and toxic molecules.
The alimentary system starts at the mouth and ends at the anus. Its intraabdominal portion extends from the diaphragmatic hiatus to the anus. Normal motility and digestion require coordinated muscular and secretory activity mediated locally and systemically by neural and endocrine signals. The bowel is a muscular tube suspended by a mobile mesentery (stomach, small intestine, cecum, transverse and sigmoid colon) or anchored to the posterior abdominal wall (duodenum, ascending and descending colon) or pelvic oor (rectum). It is susceptible to intraluminal obstruction at narrow points (gastro­esophageal junction, pylorus, ileocecal valve), to obstruction by extraluminal

FIG. 9-1 Topographic Divisions of the Abdomen. On the left are the regions of the abdomen as defined
in the Basle Nomina Anatomica terminology. Most of the nine regions are small, so that enlarged viscera and ot her
structures occupy more than one. On the right is a simpler plan with four regions. This is preferred by most clini­cians and is employed in this book. Many occasions arise when the quadrant scheme needs supplementing by reference to the epigastrium, the flanks, or the suprapubic region.
compression, and to twisting or kinking where suspended on a mesentery (especially the small bowel, cecum, and sigmoid). Symptoms referred to the abdomen include changes in appetite, pain, nausea, vomiting and altered stool character and frequency. Physical signs include changes in overall nutrition, abnormal abdominal contour, altered bowel sounds, solid-organ enlargement, increased peritoneal uid, localized mass, and tenderness.
Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic System: The liver and pancreas parenchyma
arise from condensation of mesenchymal cells around embryonic gut evagi­nations that become the biliary and pancreatic ducts. The pancreas releases bicarbonate, amylase, lipase, and proteinases in response to specic foods and duodenal contents. The pancreas also contains the islets of Langerhans, which release insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin in response to blood glu­cose changes. Portal venous blood from the gut, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen percolates from the portal triads through a radial array of sinusoids to the central vein, hepatic vein and inferior vena cava (IVC). Hepatocytes process and remove toxic metabolic products and toxins absorbed by the gut eliminating them via the circulation or bile. They synthesize essential pro­teins including albumin, coagulation factors, lipoproteins, and transport mol­ecules, and synthesize and secrete the bile salts necessary for fat digestion and absorption. Kupffer cells within the sinusoids are phagocytic antigen­presenting cells that clear bacteria from the portal circulation releasing cyto­kines into the systemic circulation.
Liver, biliary, and pancreatic symptoms include changes in food interest, nausea, vomiting, pain or discomfort associated with meals, and maldiges­tion altering stool consistency and frequency. Physical signs include changes in liver size, consistency, and shape, localized tenderness and masses, ascites, and systemic signs, e.g., jaundice, weight loss and bleeding.
Spleen and Lymphatics: See Chapter 5, page 82 for a discussion of the lymph
nodes.

The spleen distributes arterial blood into complex sinusoids where senescent red blood cells, intracellular inclusions, and red cell membrane abnormalities are removed. The spleen also clears the blood of encapsulated bacteria and produces specic antibodies. The abdominal organs are rich in lymphatics, draining into lymph nodes in the mesentery and the hila of solid organs. These drain into the para-aortic nodes, mixing with lymph from the legs and pelvis, and ultimately into the thoracic duct. Few specic symptoms arise from alterations in these organs. A large spleen produces upper abdomi­nal fullness; retroperitoneal lymph node enlargement or inammation can present as ank and back pressure or pain. Fever, weight loss, and sweats may be the only symptoms of intraabdominal lymphoma. Moderate spleno­megaly can be detected by physical exam, but intraabdominal lymph nodes are rarely palpable.
Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder: See the discussion of urogenital function in
Chapter 10.
The kidneys are in the retroperitoneum under the lower ribs (Fig. 9-2). The ureters run retroperitoneally along, then over, the psoas muscle, over the pelvic brim, and into the pelvis before entering the bladder. Obstruction of the renal pelvis or ureter, produces deep, poorly localized visceral pain in the abdomen, ank, pelvis, or testicles. Pain is referred to the ank and back from kidney enlargement or tissue invasion by inammatory, infectious, or neoplastic processes. Physical signs are palpable kidney and bladder enlarge­ment and pain on deep palpation.
SUPERFICIAL ANATOMY OF THE ABDOMEN AND PERINEUM
The Abdomen: Develop a complete mental image of the location and rela-
tionships of the abdominal organs, the mesentery and its attachments, and the arterial, venous, and lymphatic supply of each organ. Anchor this pic­ture to supercial landmarks: the spine, ribs and costal margins, umbilicus, rectus muscle, inguinal ligament, ilia, and pubes. Associate this mental pic­ture with the images presented by plain lms, ultrasonography, CT, and MRI. This requires studying anatomy texts, reviewing imaging studies with your
