Physiological changes during pregnancy and lactation result in increased lumpiness of the breast. This makes the evaluation of the breast challenging. Although most self-detected lumps, during this period, tend to be benign, the priority in these patients is to exclude tumours that may require prompt management. We present a case of phyllodes tumour that occurred during lactation and discussed the resultant pitfalls that may occur during the triple assessment of a breast lump in a lactating mother.
怀孕和哺乳期的生理变化会导致乳房出现更多的结节。这使得乳房评估具有挑战性。尽管在此期间大多数自我发现的肿块往往是良性的,但这些患者的首要任务是排除可能需要及时处理的肿瘤。我们报告一例哺乳期发生的叶状肿瘤病例,并讨论了在对哺乳期母亲乳房肿块进行三联评估时可能出现的问题。
