Axillary lymph node metastases from papilloma of the breast

Author: Ahrens, P. ; Singh, T. ; Kumar, A. ; Tso, E.

10764 Background: To report a unique case of papilloma of the breast with metastases to the axillary lymph node. Methods: Case report and review of literature. Results: 80 year old Caucasian male presented with right gynacomastia of 3 months duration. The lesion was resected. Pathology was consistent with intraductal papilloma with hyperplasia and no evidence of malignancy. Subsequently, after 2–3 weeks a mass was noted in the right axilla. This mass was resected and was found to be consistent with papilloma of the axillary lymph node and had the pathological characteristics of the original breast papilloma. Conclusion: Solitary papillomas are generally lesions of the large ducts usually located in the subareolar region of the breast. They are among the commonest cause of spontaneous nipple discharge. After resection of the primary lesion, local recurrence is fairly common. Recurrence is especially common if hyperplasia is associated with the papilloma. There is also an increased incidence of carcinoma in the affected breast. Due to the benign nature of papillomas, they do not metastasize. We did an extensive review of literature and did not find any cases of metastatic lesions from a papilloma of the breast. The underlying reason and pathogenesis for the metastases is not known. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Q4 · MEDICINE

Review

Author: Schwarte, A

Care of the terminally ill is rewarding and challenging. Nurses have the potential to affect the quality of these patients' lives. A recurrent theme voiced by terminally ill patients and their families is the nutritional ramifications associated with the cessation of nutritional intake. Various ethical perspectives provide a useful guide for decision making when determining whether fluids and nutrition should be continued in the terminally ill. This article will discuss various ethical perspectives in relation to nutrition cessation in the terminally ill. Basic physiologic changes that occur in the terminal patient will also be addressed. Nurses play an important role in insuring quality of care, particularly in supporting patients and families as they make decisions regarding nutritional management at the end of life.

*It is estimated that it costs a facility at least 150% of a person's base salary to replace a vacated position. *The most effective way for facilities to guard against hiring employees with counterproductive behavior is the systematic measurement of those personality characteristics during the assessment process. *Since the introduction of computer based assistance in the structured, behavioral interview process, Jennie Edmundson Memorial Hospital (JEMH) in Council Bluffs, Iowa has seen a reduction in turnover of 6.5%.
