Breast puncture

Breast lumps are the most common type of breast disease. Although this disease is not very serious, if a breast lump is punctured, you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time, otherwise infection will occur. Especially for breastfeeding women, you must take protective measures to avoid affecting the development of the child. Clean the skin before examination, otherwise it will cause the growth and reproduction of bacteria and fungi. Let’s take a look at it together.

Unsuitable group: breastfeeding women. Taboos before examination: No special taboos. Requirements for inspection:

(l) If the tumor is small (less than 2.5 cm) and has no adhesions to surrounding tissues, it should be removed as completely as possible, fixed in 10% formalin, and immediately sent to the pathology department for biopsy.

(2) If the tumor is adhered to the skin, the skin should be excised in a diamond shape during biopsy to facilitate postoperative suturing.

(3) If the tumor is large and adherent to the surrounding area, it is difficult to completely remove it. If it is suspected to be malignant, when removing the specimen, it is necessary to remove 2-3 pieces of tissue from the obvious lesion and different parts as much as possible for pathological sectioning.

(4) If the tumor is far from the nipple, when taking the biopsy specimen, the skin should be cut radially with the nipple as the center. This can reduce the number of milk ducts cut and will not affect the subsequent radical excision surgery.

(5) If the lump is close to the nipple, make a circular incision along the junction of the areola and the breast skin as much as possible so that the mark is not obvious. (6) When removing suspicious breast tissue, it is important to reach a sufficient depth to avoid obtaining only necrotic tissue on the surface of the tumor or only a few cells, which would make it difficult to make a pathological histological diagnosis.
