Purpose: This study aims to analyze Heart Rate Variability(HRV) in women with fibroadenoma compared with non-fibroadenoma women. Methods: We studied 82 patients visiting Kang-Nam Kyung-Hee Korean Hospital Medical Examination Center from January, 2010 to November, 2011. The subjects were categorized in two groups, fibroadenoma group(n=16) and non-fibroadenoma group (n=66). We investigated the difference of HRV between two groups. Results: The square root of the mean squared difference of successive NNs (RMSSD) in fibroadenoma group is significantly lower than non-fibroadenoma group. LF/HF ratio in fibroadenoma group is significantly higher than non-fibroadenoma group. There was no significant difference in low frequency(LF) and high frequency (HF). However, normalized LF in fibroadenoma group is significantly higher than non-fibroadenoma group. In addition, normalized HF in fibroadenoma group is significantly lower than non-fibroadenoma group. Conclusions: Fibroadenoma group is related to autonomic nerve imbalances that is assumed by psychological problems.

섬유선종은 여성 유방의 가장 흔한 양성 종양이고, 대부분 악성병소로 변하지 않는 것으로 알려져 있다. 일상생활에 큰 지장을 주지 않는다면 주기적인 관찰만 하는 경우가 많다. 일반적으로 섬유선종에서의 악성화 병변이 발생하지 않는다고 알려져 있다. 또한 섬유선종 내에서 악성병변이 발생한다면 단지 영상 검사만으로 진단하기 힘들뿐 아니라, 치료를 위해 외과 의사가 수술 방향을 설정하는 것 역시 쉽지 않다. 저자는 19세와 51세의 여자 환자의 두 예에서 유방의 섬유선종에서 발생한 관상피내암을 경험하였다. 19세 여자환자는 만져지는 우측 유방 종괴를 주소로, 타병원에서 절제생검으로 진단하였고, 본원에서 주변부의 재절제술을 하였다. 또한, 면역검사결과 에스트로겐 수용체 및 프로게스테론 수용체 양성 소견을 보여 내분비 치료를 하였다. 51세 여자환자는 좌측 유방의 종괴를 주소로, 유방촬영술 검사에서 내부에 미세석회화 소견을 보였고, 이에 초음파를 이용한 조직검사로 진단하였으며, 자기공명영상 촬영 후 보존적 유방 절제술을 하였다. 유방의 섬유선종에서 발생한 악성병변에 대한 보고는 거의 없다. 또한 이에 대한 특성이나 치료에 대한 지침도 없다. 따라서 이러한 유형의 병변은 드물고 경험이 거의 없기 때문에 유방의 섬유선종에서 발생한 악성병변의 모든 예에 대한 영상검사 및 병리학적 특징을 정확히 이해한다면 유방의 섬유선종의 다양한 형태의 병변에 대한 보다 정확한 진단 및 치료를 시행하는데 많은 도움을 줄 것으로 생각된다. 이에 저자는 유방의 섬유선종에서 발생한 관상피내암의 2예를 바탕으로 섬유선종 내에서 발생한 악성병변의 특성 및 치료에 대해 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

1994년 3월부터 1996년 4월까지 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원에서 절제술을 시행하여 병리조직학적으로 진단받은 엽상육종 6례와 섬유선종 4례의 초음파 소견을 후향적으로 분석한 결과 두 종괴 모두에서 모양이 비교적 둥글며 변연이 정상조직과 잘 구분되며 내부 음향이 저음향으로 균질하게 나타났으나, 엽상육종에서는 종괴 가장자리의 납작한 모양의 낭종이 6례 중 4례 관찰되어 특징적인 소견으로 생각되며 종괴 내 저음영의 격막띠 음향은 거대 섬유선종에서 더 많이 관찰되어 거대 섬유선종을 시사하는 소견으로 생각한다. 하지만 증례가 적어 통계학적 유의성은 알 수 없었으며 이에 관한 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Primary breast lesions diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology, confirmed by histologic examination were analyzed by morphometry to evaluate the difference between benign and malignant lesions, and the methods obtaining the sample. four size factors and 5 form factors were evaluated in 22 fibroadenomas and 20 carcinomas by image analyzer(Zeiss Ibas 2000) using the H-E stained slides. Nuclear size was significantly larger in the carcinoma cells than fibroadenoma cells both in the cytology and biopsy specimens, but the form factors were not significantly different. Both fibroadencma and carcinoma cells were significantly larger in cytologic smear than histologic section. The cells in the cytology were more regular and round than those in histology, but not statistically significant. Fibroadenomas having cellular proliferation and atypism exhibited larger size and more irregular nuclei than non-proliferative fibroadenoma, but not statistically significant. Therefore nuclear morphometric analysis can be a helpful method to diagnose the questionable breast lesions and is a method appropriate for use as a quality control procedure in the fine needle aspiration cytology.

Spontaneous infarction of fibroadenoma of the breast is very uncommon and may lead to difficulties in clinical and pathological diagnosis. Most reported cases occured in young women during pregnancy or lactation. This report describes imprint cytologic features of an infarcted fibroadenoma in a 19-year-old young woman without evidence of pregnancy. The smears revealed many individually scattered degenerated or necrotic epithelial or spindle stromai cells and naked nuclei on dirty necrotic background. A few sheets of cohesive uniform epithelial cells and a few fragments of stromal cells were also present. Most of the epithelial cells had pyknotic and hyperchromatic nuclei, however, cellular atypism such as pleomorphism, prominent nucleoli or mitosis were not present. Though the necrotic ductular and glandular outline of this case may bear a superficial resemblance to adenocarcinoma, obvious cytologic atypia or mitosis, even in the necrotic areas were not present.

This study was performed in order to evaluate the accuracy and the usefulness of the fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) on the breast lesions, to compare the FNAC findings between fibroadenoma and fibrocystic disease, and to determine the accuracy of cytologic Black's nuclear grading. The subjects in this study were 110 cases of FNAC, later confirmed by biopsy, between January 1988 and December 1991. The results are as follows ; 1 Comparison between the results of the FNAC and the histologic findings revealed that FNAC had a sensitivity of 96.6%, a specificity of 100%, a false negative rate of 3.4% a false positive rate of 0.0%, and an overall diagnostic accuracy of 98.2%. 2 Semi-quantitative evaluation of epithelial celluarity, stroma, and naked nuclei in the smears of aspirate showed high celluarity in 56.7% of the aspirates from fibroadenoma and in 0% of those from fibrocystic disease. Abundant stroma was found in 46.7% of the fibroadenoma and none of fibrocystic disease. Numerous naked nuclei were found in 60% of the fibroadenoma and 4.5% of the fibrocystic disease. The overall diagnostic accuracy was 98% 3. In order to determine the accuracy of Black's nuclear grading of FNAC on breast carcinoma, we retrospectively studied 38 cases of ductal carcinomas diagnosed by FNAC with subsequent histologic confirmation. The concordance rate with histology was 94.7%. These results suggest that FNAC of breast is a diagnostically accurate method, and provide for the preoperative differential diagnosis between fibroadenoma and fibrocystic disease. Our results also suggest that the evaluation of nuclear grading of FNAC can predict clinical outcome and decide the way of management of breast cancer.

Most tumors are believed to overexpress several receptors, and small peptides targeting these receptors were developed for diagnosis and tumor therapy during past decade. Here we report that fibroadenoma can be visualized by bladder cancer specific peptide. A 9-mer bladder cancer specific peptide, which was discovered from the phage display method, was synthesized by peptide synthesizer, and additional tyrosine was conjugated at the N-terminal for radioiodination (Y-BP). Y-BP was radiolabeled with $^{131/124}I$ using Iodogen tube. The rat treated with N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine for 8 weeks was allowed to grow until large size tumor was developed under axilla. The tumor model was microPET imaged sequentially using [$^{18}F$]FDG and radioiodinated $^{124}I-Y-BP$. The tumor was excised and examined by immunostaining studies. Radioiodinated $^{124}I-Y-BP$ was purified using fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) in > 90% radiochemical purity. The whole tumor was well visualized by [$^{18}F$]FDG with several intense focal uptake within tumor. The tumor was also clearly seen with $^{124}I-Y-BP$ at 4 h post-injection, and to our surprise the tumor uptake of $^{124}I-Y-BP$ lasted up to three days. The tumor was diagnosed histologically as a fibroadenoma derived from mammary gland. In conclusion, the bladder cancer specific peptide showed the good potential as a new radiotracer for the detection of breast fibroadenoma.

Background: Around 200,000 breast disorders are annually diagnosed all over the world. Fibrocystic changes are the most common breast disorder and fibroadenoma is the most prevalent benign breast tumor. The present study aimed to determine the spectrum, type and prevalence of breast masses in women referred to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences between 2004 and 2012. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on the diagnostic reports data. Results: A total of 640 samples were studied. Most 57.3% of masses were detected in the left breast, 65%, 28.2% and 6.1% of cases presenting with benign, malignant, and inflammatory lesions, respectively. Among all the samples the most prevalent diagnosis (37.7%) was fibroadenoma and fibrocystic lesions (17%). 174 samples (96% of the malignant cases) were invasive. 6.5% of the benign, and 37% of the malignant cases occurred in post menopause women and the differences were statistically significant. Among those with malignant tumors lymph nodes were involved in 25.6% of menopausal women and 44.2% of non-menopausal ones, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusions: Regular clinical breast examination beside mammographic follow-ups, especially during menopause, should be carried out as a priority and a national organized program should be designed for screening breast disorders.
