A small abscess on a hair follicle on the eyelid is known as which?
a. Ptosis.
b. Pinguecula.
c. Ptergium.
d. Hordeolum.
A hordeolum, commonly known as a stye, is an acute inflammatory condition of the eyelid
characterized by the presence of a painful, red lump, usually located at the base of an eyelash
follicle or within a gland of the eyelid.
It is typically caused by bacterial infection, often due to Staphylococcus aureus, which leads to
the obstruction of the oil-producing glands in the eyelid, resulting in swelling and pus
formation.
Symptoms include localized pain, tenderness, redness, and swelling, along with possible tearing
or crusting of the eyelid.
Treatment usually involves warm compresses to promote drainage, and in some cases,
antibiotics may be prescribed if there is significant infection or if the hordeolum does not
resolve on its own. While most hordeolums resolve without complications, recurrent cases may
indicate underlying issues with eyelid hygiene or chronic skin conditions.

An adult female is diagnosed with fibroadenoma. Which is true?
a. There is no association with increased risk of cancer.
b. This type of mass is known as ductal carcinoma in situ.
c. There is a decreased risk for breast cancer.
d. There is a high risk of this mass causing cancer.
Your answer is correct.
Fibroadenoma is a common benign (non-cancerous) breast tumor, primarily affecting young women, particularly those
in their late teens to early 30s. It is composed of glandular and fibrous tissue, hence the name. Fibroadenomas are
typically round, smooth, firm, and mobile lumps that can vary in size, ranging from a few millimeters to several
centimeters. They are often described as "rubbery" and can be easily moved under the skin, distinguishing them from
other types of breast masses.
The exact cause of fibroadenomas is not well understood, but they are believed to be influenced by hormonal changes,
particularly estrogen. They may grow in size during pregnancy or with hormonal therapy and often shrink after
menopause.
Diagnosis usually involves a clinical breast examination followed by imaging studies, such as ultrasound or
mammography, to assess the lump's characteristics. In some cases, a core needle biopsy or fine-needle aspiration
may be performed to confirm the diagnosis and rule out malignancy.
Treatment is often unnecessary for fibroadenomas unless they cause discomfort, grow significantly, or there is
uncertainty about the diagnosis. For symptomatic or suspicious cases, options include surgical removal (excisional
biopsy) or minimally invasive procedures like cryoablation. Regular monitoring through follow-up exams and imaging is
typically recommended for stable fibroadenomas.
While fibroadenomas are benign and not directly linked to breast cancer, complex fibroadenomas or those with atypical
features may slightly increase the risk of developing breast cancer. Therefore, maintaining regular breast self-
examinations and routine medical check-ups is essential.
