VARGAS-CHANDOMID, Estefanía et al. Skin diseases of the breast: A retrospective study of 171 patients at “Dr. Manuel Gea González” General Hospital. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2022, vol.90, n.10, pp.826-832. Epub 27-Jan-2023. ISSN 0300-9041. https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v90i10.7966.
OBJECTIVE:
Describe dermatoses of the mammary region that warranted histopathological diagnosis in dermatologic consults.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The Hospital “Dr. Manuel Gea Gonzalez” Dermatopathology Department record database was reviewed in the 1992 to 2021 period, using the search engine terms “breast,” “mammary,” “nipple,” and “areola.” Lesions were classified as benign, malignant, infectious and noninfectious inflammatory tumors.
RESULTS:
171 histopathological reports were reviewed. There was a female predominance in histopathological studies (153/171). The most frequent clinical diagnosis for referral in female patients was breast cancer with cutaneous infiltration; supernumerary nipple was the most frequent clinical diagnosis for male patients. The most frequent dermatoses belonged to the benign tumor category (78/171), followed by noninfectious inflammatory dermatoses (48/171). Malignant neoplasms were in third place (39/171), and 3.5% of dermatoses were infectious inflammatory dermatoses.
CONCLUSIONS:
Cutaneous mammary disease has diverse clinical presentations that might occasionally warrant histopathological studies, mainly for the early diagnosis of malignant neoplasms.
