Breast lipoma

Introduction to breast lipoma Mammary lipoma is a benign tumor derived from breast adipose tissue. Can occur at any age, the age of onset is more common in 30 to 50 years old. However, it is common in middle-aged and elderly women, often single-shot, occasionally more frequent, mostly located under the breast. Different from common breast hyperplasia, the tumor is soft and round or oval. The surface is leaf-shaped and the outer layer is a complete fiber envelope with good activity and no adhesion to surrounding tissues. The most common clinical manifestation of breast fibroadenoma is breast lumps, and in most cases, breast lumps are the only symptom of the disease. The lipoma of the breast, like other lipomas, is a benign tumor with few malignant changes and slow growth, which is not harmful to the body. If the tumor is not large, there is no need to deal with it. For parotid lipoma, it can be removed at any time due to surgical exploration. The lipoma located behind the breast, if the diagnosis is clear, the tumor is not large, does not affect its breast function, no surgery. The tumor is larger, obviously compressing the surrounding tissue, and even affecting the function of the breast, or secondary cancer. Take the principle of surgical resection. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.001% Susceptible population: The age of onset is more common in 30 to 50 years old, but it is common in middle-aged and elderly women. Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: breast hyperplasia

Causes of breast lipoma

Excessive drinking (20%):

Excessive drinking, often eating fat, animal gut, scaleless fish or egg yolk. Because eating too much fatty products, high cholesterol food, can cause spleen and stomach damp heat, phlegm and endogenous, transport disorders, that is, too much new fat tissue, so that the body's excessive fat cells are heterogeneous, hard. The principle of treatment is: antipyretic dehumidification, spleen and stomach, soft and firm.

Work pressure is too high (25%):

People who are overworked, irritated, and often angry. Because of liver qi stagnation, poor blood and meridians, the normal adipose tissue and blood can be intertwined, and connective tissue can be wrapped into fat cells for a long time to form lipoma. The principle of treatment: Shugan qi, blood circulation, soft and firm. Through the treatment to open the meridians, dredge the menstrual blood, dissipate the lipoma.

Frequently staying up late (20%):

I often stay up all night and think about people with too many problems. Because the spleen and stomach are injured, the spleen loses health, and the yin and yang are out of tune, so that the body's ability to decompose fat is reduced, and the original fat tissue and newborn fat can not be properly arranged, forming abnormal fat tissue, that is, "lipoma", treatment principle : Replenishing qi and strengthening the spleen, regulating the balance of yin and yang, soft and firm.

Breast lipoma prevention

Prevention of multiple breast lipoma should start with daily diet, timely prevention, timely detection, and timely treatment are the key.

1. Prohibit alcohol and alcoholic beverages, eat less spicy foods, such as peppers, dog meat, etc., irritating foods can penetrate lipoma growth, so eat less such foods.

2. The diet should be regular. It is reasonable to eat 30% of the daily meal, 40% of the daily meal for lunch, and 30% of the daily meal for dinner.

Breast lipoma complications Complications breast hyperplasia

If the breast lipoma is not treated in time, it can be transformed into breast hyperplasia, breast fibroma, breast cancer and other diseases.

Breast lipoma symptoms Common symptoms Breast lumps Breast pain Lipoma Breast pain

1, the most important clinical manifestations of breast fibroadenoma is breast lumps, and in most cases, breast lumps are the only symptoms of this disease.

2, the mass of breast fibroadenoma is mostly unintentionally found by the patient, generally without pain, and does not change with the menstrual cycle.

3, a small number of cases of breast fibroadenoma and mammary gland hyperplasia coexist, at this time there may be premenstrual breast pain.

4, the mass of breast fibroadenoma occurs in the outer upper quadrant of the breast. Adenomas are often single-shot and have multiple occurrences.

5, adenoma is round or oval, the diameter of 1 cm is more common, there are smaller or larger, even visible large. The surface is smooth, the texture is tough, the boundary is clear, no adhesion to the skin and surrounding tissues, the activity is large, and the touch is slippery.

6, the axillary lymph nodes are not swollen. The adenoma is painless and has no tenderness. Its size traits generally do not change with the menstrual cycle.

7, the mass usually grows slowly, can be unchanged for several years, but can increase rapidly during pregnancy and lactation, and individual sarcoma changes can occur at this time.

Breast lipoma examination

Breast lipoma may need to be examined: gynecological ultrasound, breast ultrasound, breast palpation, breast needle biopsy, breast visualization, and mammography.

First, because mammary fatoma is derived from a benign tumor of breast adipose tissue, usually single-shot, thermal image examination is the use of infrared thermal imaging to diagnose breast disease, with no damage characteristics, can be well detected.

Secondly, because breast disease is likely to be the cause of breast cancer, B-ultrasound is a non-invasive test, and the correct diagnosis rate for each stage of breast cancer is higher than that of heat map. Therefore, B-ultrasound is very useful.

Third, as a benign tumor of the breast lipoma, some patients are not very obvious, so it is easy to cause misdiagnosis and delay treatment. Molybdenum X-ray is one of the more accurate instruments for the diagnosis of breast cancer. Simple, safe and reliable non-invasive examination can be of great help to patients without obvious symptoms.

Fourth, mammography is an examination of breast disease that provides an accurate diagnosis of some associated conditions. At the same time, fine needle aspiration cytology is a reliable method widely used in medicine.

Diagnosis and diagnosis of breast lipoma

Ultrasound diagnosis of breast lipoma

Ultrasound examination of the breast can be single or multiple, can be distributed in the fat layer of the breast, gland layer.

Diagnosis can be made according to the following symptoms.

Tumors are usually 3 to 5 cm, and can grow up to about 10 cm. The tumor grows slowly and generally has no special discomfort. Mammary lipoma rarely undergoes malignant transformation. It can be used for small, slow-growing lipomas. However, for fatomas that grow faster, have larger volume, and significantly compress surrounding tissues, surgical treatment should be performed. relapse.

Mammary lipoma mainly manifests as a single, mostly single hair, which is different from breast milk, which is round or oval. The surface is leaf-shaped and the outer layer is a complete fiber envelope with good activity and no adhesion to surrounding tissues.
