 Diagnosis

Diagnosis:

1. Benign Neoplasm of Left Breast – (D24.2) as evidence by small round mass (2.0 cm) is palpable in the left breast with distinct borders, firm tissue, easily moved and painless, localized at 3 – 4:00 Hrs. No axillary nodes.

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTIC:

1. Malignant Neoplasms of the Breast: Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that forms from the uncontrolled growth of abnormal breast cells. Malignant tumors can invade and destroy surrounding tissue and spread to other parts of the body. Breast cancer usually affects tissues involved in milk production (ductal and lobular tissues).

2. Fibrocystic Breast Disease: The condition is very common and benign, meaning that fibrocystic breasts are not malignant (cancerous). Fibrocystic breast disease (FBD) is now referred to as fibrocystic changes or fibrocystic breast condition, is the most common cause of “lumpy breasts” and affects more than 60% of women.

3. Lipoma of the Breast: A lipoma is a benign tumor of the breast. So, fat tissue is the main component of a lipoma. Essentially, a lipoma is a pocket of fat that is encapsulated by a thin fibrous capsule. Lipomas are very common and can occur in many areas of the body.

Plan/Therapeutics & Education:

Medications: No medication is ordered.

Teaching/Education:

Dietary changes (avoid caffeine, alcohol).

You must perform a monthly breast exam at the same time each month, 1 week after your menstrual period ends.

Return to the office if you discover any new breast changes in size, shape, or contour of the breast. If a new node appears. Also, if you note a change in the appearance or feel of the skin and nipple. Return if you note spontaneous bloody or clear fluid from the nipple. Reduce or avoid caffeine and soy products.

Disease process: Fibroadenomas are a benign neoplasm of the breast that usually develop in the young women, between the age of 15 and 35 (Poter, 2011). The tumors tend to be more circumscribe and mobile and, when palpated, may feel like small, slippery marble (Llanio-Navarro & Perdomo-Gonzales, 2003). The exact causes are unknown but, development of fibroadenomas may relate to reproductive hormones. Tumors may shrink after menopause, when hormone levels decline (Poter, 2011).

Non-medication treatments: NA

Follow-ups/Referrals:

* Patient need to return to clinic in 3 weeks to evaluate the results of breast ultrasound, Mammography (Mammogram), and CBC, BMP, U/A Reflex to culture.

* Follow Dr. orders and in case of emergency please call 911 or come to nearest ER.

* Follow up in two weeks to evaluated patient and laboratory testing results.

* No referrals needed at this time.

 Evaluation of patient encounter:

Interview process went well, practitioner elaborated the plan of care with patient, and education was provided and verbalized understanding.

A palpable breast mass is the most common finding of symptomatic breast cancer. Evaluation of a breast mass begins with a detailed history, assessment of breast cancer risk, and physical examination and requires age-appropriate breast imaging. Breast masses are common and typically benign. Certain qualities of a mass (e.g. mobile, unattached to surrounding tissue, discrete, smooth surface) are reassuring to the provider that a mass in a young woman is benign. Based on the history and physical exam, the provider can often make the right diagnosis of benign or malignant but not necessarily to the degree that is reassuring for the provider and/or the patient.2 Cyst aspiration and cytology of the fluid is used in a more limited fashion and primarily only for larger, bothersome simple cysts. If aspiration is done, the fluid is non-bloody and the mass is gone, simple close follow-up is acceptable. If the mass does not totally resolve, recurs or the fluid is bloody with aspiration, a tissue biopsy is indicated. In the setting of a mass seen as solid on ultrasound, further imaging and likely biopsy may be merited. When imaging is ordered in the setting of a breast complaint, it should be diagnostic and not screening. Depending on the imaging unit, they may immediately proceed without additional orders to secondary imaging and even biopsy as indicated by the classification of the initial images. Providers should be aware of the reporting and diagnostic steps of the imaging group and ensure that subsequent reports are tracked, and follow-up is performed.
