A 48-year-old female psychologist presents to clinic with concerns about her breast cancer risk after an age-matched cousin was recently diagnosed with this disease. This cousin is the third family member on her father's side in as many years to be diagnosed with breast cancer, including the patient's own father, who had surgery and subsequent treatment 3 years ago for breast cancer. The patient has little other knowledge of her family history, only that her grandparents independently arrived from Eastern Europe near the end of World War II and were among very few members of their family that survived the war. The patient has read about testing for the breast cancer genes [BRCA1 and BRCA2) and desires further information about whether this would be appropriate for her. Which of the following is true about this patient's indications for BRCA testing - ANSWER️️-This patient carries several risk factors that together justify BRCA testing 2. A 44-year-old female mathematician presents to clinic with a complaint of a mass in the right breast. Her partner noticed this mass 2 days ago, and the patient feels guilty because she has only had one mammogram and does not engage in breast self-examination (BSE) on any regular basis. She has no family history of breast cancer, and her prior mammogram was ordered as a routine screening test at age 43 years after a brief discussion with her primary care provider. After a thorough investigation reveals a benign cyst, what advice should be given to this patient about screening for breast cancer in her age group? - ANSWER️️-This patient was in compliance with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations for her age group and risk factors prior to her current complaint. rational: This patient is in compliance with USPSTF for her age group and risk factors Recommendations: 50 years old - discuss risks and benefits with their provider & make their own plan 3. A 42-year-old female website developer presents for an annual preventive examination with questions about breast cancer screening. She is concerned about the radiation exposure associated with mammography and is interested in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a possible alternative for routine screening. She is otherwise healthy with no family history of breast, ovarian, or colon cancer. Which of the following is true about MRI as a screening modality for breast cancer in the general population? - ANSWER️️-Sensitivity of screening for breast cancer increases with breast MRI at the expense of specificity. Rational: increased sensitivity (in this case, higher resolution imaging to pick up subtler disease) is often traded for reduced specificity (in the form of discovering many small items of no pathological significance). Very sensitive tests pick up false positives Very specific tests often rule out disease effectively by missing many actual cases 4. A 35-year-old G0P0 woman presents to clinic with a complaint of bilateral nipple discharge. This discharge started several weeks ago and has occurred at irregular intervals since that time. She does not complain of local tenderness, redness, fever, or any other systemic symptoms aside from slightly irregular periods over the last few months. On examination, she is able to express a small amount of discharge, which is sent to the laboratory and found to be consistent with breast milk but without any signs of blood or pus. Screening laboratories are also sent, which reveal a normal blood count, metabolic panel, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) level. Further laboratories are still pending. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis - ANSWER️️-Prolactinoma Rational: Prolactinoma: pituitary tumors that secrete prolactin, which causes the production of breast milk and can suppress menstruation 5. A 22-year-old G0P0 undergraduate student presents to clinic after finding a breast mass on breast self-examination (BSE) at home. The mass is nontender without skin changes, erythema, or overlying swelling. She has heard that most breast cancers are found by patients themselves, and she is very concerned that she may have breast cancer. Which of the following is true about BSE and self-detection of breast cancer? - ANSWER️️-This patient is more likely to find a fibroadenoma than a cancer on self-examination Rational: Palpable fibroadenomas are more likely to be found in the age range: 15-25 6. A 68-year-old former paleontologist presents to clinic with concerns about her breast cancer risk. Her mother developed the disease in her 50s and died from it in her 60s. A younger cousin developed the disease a few years ago before the age of 50 years, but this individual was not tested for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. In addition, the patient suffered from lymphoma in her 20s and had radiation to the chest. She did take hormone replacement therapy for a few years before data emerged that this may contribute to breast cancer risk. She has had several abnormal mammograms in her 50s for persistently dense breasts with subtle findings, but follow-up biopsies never showed any malignant pathology. Which of the following is true regarding magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) screening of this patient? - ANSWER️️-Regardless of recommendations, the high sensitivity of breast MRI comes at the expense of markedly decreased specificity (i.e., the ability to rule out disease in healthy breasts) rational: This patient presents with an extraordinary risk profile - Strong family history of breast cancer (suggestive of BRCA linkage to disease but without clear diagnosis) 7. A 66-year-old female museum curator presents for a routine annual examination. On examination, a notably enlarged supraclavicular lymph node is appreciated on the right side. The lymph node is nontender and feels firm and rubbery. She denies any localized or systemic symptoms such as breast lumps, fevers, or night sweats. She has been taking conjugated estrogen tablets for 9 years since menopause, though she has not taken progestin compounds since she had a hysterectomy for heavy bleeding at age 45 years. Which of the following is true about this presentation of lymphadenopathy? - ANSWER️️-Metastatic breast cancer cells may spread directly into the infraclavicular and then supraclavicular nodes without first causing notable changes in the axillary nodes. Rational: - Supraclavicular LNs are uniformly considered malignant until proven otherwise- The DDx for these malignancies is wide but includes cancers of the breasts, lung, head, and neck, esophagus, pancreas, etc. 8. A 24-year-old graphic designer presents to clinic with a concern for a breast mass. A rubbery, mobile, nontender mass is palpated in the right breast as described by the patient, which is consistent with a fibroadenoma. In describing the location of the mass, the examiner notes that it is 3 cm proximal to and 3 cm to the left of the nipple. Which of the following would be the most appropriate way to report this finding? - ANSWER️️-Rubbery, mobile, nontender mass located in right breast, in the 10:30 position from the nipple" 9. A 54-year-old female dietician presents for a routine annual examination. On review of systems, she reports that she has had many breast findings over several years, including one biopsy with normal pathology. She feels that her breasts have become far less lumpy since she underwent menopause 3 years ago. Which of the following is true regarding changes in the breasts with menopause? - ANSWER️️-Glandular tissue of the breast atrophies with menopause, primarily due to decrease in the number of lobules. Rational: - The consequent decrease in breast density makes mammograms ever more useful during the age when breast cancer incidence starts to rise markedly 10. An overweight 26-year-old public servant presents to the Emergency Department with 12 hours of intense abdominal pain, light-headedness, and a fainting episode that finally prompted her to seek medical attention. She has a strong family history of gallstones and is concerned about this possibility. She has not had any vomiting or diarrhea. She had a normal bowel movement this morning. Her β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) is positive at triage. She reports that her last period was 10 weeks ago. Her vital signs at triage are pulse, 118; blood pressure, 86/68; respiratory rate, 20/min; oxygen saturation, 99%; and temperature, 37.3ºC orally. The clinician performs an abdominal exam prior to her pelvic exam and, on palpation of her abdomen, finds involuntary rigidity and rebound tenderness. What is the most likely diagnosis? - ANSWER️️-Ruptured tubal (or ectopic) pregnancy 11. A 63-year-old janitor with a history of adenomatous colonic polyps presents for a well visit. Basic labs are performed to screen for diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia. Electrolytes and liver enzymes were also measured. His labs are all normal expect for moderate elevations of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, γ-glutamyl transferase, and alkaline phosphatase as well as a mildly elevated total bilirubin. He presents for a follow-up appointment and the clinician performs an abdominal exam to assess his liver. Which of the following findings would be most consistent with hepatomegaly? - ANSWER️️-Liver palpable 3 cm below the right costal margin, mid clavicular line, on expiration 12. A 63-year-old underweight administrative clerk with a 50-pack-year smoking history presents with a several month history of recurrent epigastric abdominal discomfort. She feels fairly well otherwise and denies any nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. She reports that a first cousin died from a ruptured aneurysm at age 68 years. Her vital signs are pulse, 86; blood pressure, 148/92; respiratory rate, 16; oxygen saturation, 95%; and temperature, 36.2ºC. Her body mass index is 17.6. On exam, her abdominal aorta is prominent, which is concerning for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Which of the following is her most significant risk factor for an AAA? - ANSWER️️-history of smoking 13. A 76-year-old retired man with a history of prostate cancer and hypertension has been screened annually for colon cancer using high sensitivity fecal occult blood testing (FOBT). He presents for follow-up of his hypertension, during which the clinician scans his chart to ensure he is up to date with his preventive health care. He has a positive FOBT on one occasion at age 66 years and subsequently went for a
