Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / March 2005core biopsy
Thank you for your relpy. I had talked with a Dr. @ the hospital yesterday . The solid growth or complex cyst ( Dr. is unsure) is located up against a sympol cyst. I was told that w/in the 7 mos. + since my last mammogram and ultrasound that the complex cyst had grown slightly.( strange dimentions) The Dr. stated that papillomasarcoma sometimes mimicks this. Papillomasarcoma bathes itself in the sympol cyst. The odd thing is a yr. ago I had a sympol cyst locatated in the very spot this one is in.It was aspirated.Fluid drawn and discarded.Does the cyst wall also need to be removed ? Mine wasn't. I wonder if that's why it came back ?? Also, I have had a sinus infection this week. Should I d/c the appt. due to that and reschedule ? I wondered if that would make a difference in the pathology? Thank you for your time and opinion. It means so much . Jennifer A cold or virus will make no difference in the pathology. Good luck, alex > Thank you for your relpy.

The material that was taken or removed was slightly chunky. The fluid was light pink. The Dr. said that there was some blood. She wondered if she had gone too deep ? The sympol cyst and complex cyst are gone. The Dr. did something odd tho'. She placed a small staple like thingy in my right breast where these cysts were growing. She stated that it would be for future reference in case the cells came back abnormal and I needed more tissue removed. On Friday I should have the results. I'll post them here. I thank you all . Has anyone ever heard of the small staples being placed in the breast and what info can you add re: that? Thank you for helping me to and from my appt. The words of incouragement meant so much. I consider that quite an act of friendship . I look forward to hearing from you all and I'll be in touch. God Bless, Jenn Best of luck with your biopsy, positive thoughts your way.

It's a marker, a signpost to future surgeons who may need to travel the area, to show where the sample had been taken from. Good luck with your results.

Surgical removal of the cyst involves a lot more complication and risk of infection etc. than aspiration. I think after aspiration a cyst may disappear or it may come back, if it keeps coming back then surgery may be the answer, but either way it isn't something to fret over. But that's nothing to do with cancer, and isn't specific to breasts either. There is potentially a progression through benign conditions, ending up with a malignant one. Breast cancer can happen like that, the abnormal cells in a benign lump may have some but not all of the changes to make them cancerous, and some further changes may occur later in part of the lump to result in a malignancy within or attached to it. So one has to keep a regular eye on abnormalities (eg annual mammogram), even if they have been stable (or tested negative) for quite along time. I think this is what the doctors want to check for. > Also, I have had a sinus infection this week. Should I d/c the appt. > due to that and reschedule ?

They are the experts, let them call the shots. Tim |
