Overview
It is thought that breast lumps is the result of hormonal events and genetic mutations. The pathophysiology of breast lumps depends on the histological subtypes.
Pathophysiology
Physiology
- Mammary gland development, maturation, and differentiation is controlled by hormones through their action on epithelial and stromal cells:[1][2][3]
- Estrogen: Development of ductal tissue
- Progesterone: Ductal branching and lobulo-alveolar development
- Prolactin: Milk protein production
- Estradiol and progesterone: Breast development at puberty
- Estrogen and progesterone: Cell proliferation during luteal phase
Histological changes of breast
Histological changes of breast undergo continuous changes throughout the life:[4]
- Fibrocystic disease
- Histological apperance change from predominance of ducts, lobules to fibrous change, and cyst formation
- Fibrocystic changes are not associated with breast cancer
- Specific changes during the period of times:
- Early reproductive ages[5]
- Stromal hyperplasia, unilateral or bilateral macromastia
- Middle reproductive ages[6]
- Substantial changes in glandular breast tissue result in adenosis
- Stromal hyperplasia may result into ill-defined fullness areas called lumpy-bumpy consistency or firm areas which may require biopsy
- No ductal changes
- Late reproductive period[6]
- Hyperplastic glandular tissue with sclerosing adenosis or lobular hyperplasia
- Hyperplastic glandular lesions may require biopsy
- Hyperplastic ductal tissue
- Hyperplastic glandular tissue with sclerosing adenosis or lobular hyperplasia
- Early reproductive ages[5]
- Diagnostic subtypes and histologic subtypes are described according to their relative risk for cancer as below:[7]
Diagnostic subtypes | Breast cancer relative risk |
---|---|
Non-proliferative disease | 1.17 |
Proliferative disease without atypia | 1.76 |
Benign breast disease | 2.07 |
Atypical hyperplasia | 3.93 |
Histological subtypes | Breast cancer relative risk |
---|---|
Adenosis | 2.00 |
Atypical ductal hyperplasia | 3.28 |
Atypical lobular hyperplasia | 3.92 |
Cysts | 1.55 |
Fibroadenoma | 1.41 |
Papilloma | 2.06 |
Breast lumps | Histological findings |
---|---|
Atypical hyperplasia[8] |
|
Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH)[9] |
|
Lobular neoplasia[10] |
|
Atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH)[11] |
|
Apocrine proliferative lesions[12] |
|
Columnar cell lesions (CCL)[13] |
|
Papillary lesions[14] |
|
Radical scars and complex sclerosing lesions[15] |
|
Fibroadenoma[16] |
|
Phyllodes tumor[17] | |
Pseudoangiomatous Stromal Hyperplasia[18] |
|
Sclerosing adenosis[19] |
|
Pathogenesis
- It is understood that breast lumps are the result of hormonal events:[20]
- Prevalence of benign breast lesion in post-menopausal women receiving estrogen with or without progesteron for more than 8 years raise by 1.7 fold.
- Estrogen and progesterone increase rate of benign proliferative breast disease to 74%.[21]
- Anti-estrogen drugs such as tamoxifen, decrease prevalence of breast lesions such as adenosis, cysts, hyperplasia, duct ectasia to 28%[22]
Genetics
- Breast lumps is associated with deletion of small segments of DNA (loss of heterozigosity).[23]
- The development of breast lumps is the result of multiple genetic mutations such as:
- High risk genes mutations:[24]
- BRCA1
- BRCA2
- TP53 resulting in Li-Fraumeni syndrome
- PTEN resulting in Cowden syndrome
- STK11 resulting in Peutz-Jegher’s syndrome, Neurofibromatosis (NF1) and (CDH-1) E-Cadherin
- Moderate risk genes mutations:[25][26][27]
- Homozygous ataxia-telangiectasia (ATM)
- Somatic mutations in CHEK2
- BRIP1: BRCA1 modifier
- PALB2: BRCA2 modifier
- Low risk genes mutations:[28]
- Clinical determination of these genes have not determined yet
- High risk genes mutations:[24]
