Karnataka PGET Surgery MCQ Answer 16

on with 0 comments



The correct answer is B

In most cases, perform wide local excision with a rim of normal tissue. The lesion should not be "shelled out" as might be done with a fibroadenoma, or the recurrence rate will be unacceptably high.

  • If the tumor-to-breast ratio is sufficiently high to preclude a satisfactory cosmetic result by segmental excision, total mastectomy, with or without reconstruction, is an alternative.
  • More radical procedures are not generally warranted.
  • Perform axillary lymph node dissection only for clinically suspicious nodes. However, virtually all of these nodes are reactive and do not contain malignant cells.
