Key Clinical Message: SAN should be considered in the setting of nipple discharge or morphology changes with typical histological findings. There are limited published cases of SAN, and workup of this pathology is still not clear to date.

Abstract: Syringomatous adenoma of the nipple (SAN) is known to be a rare benign breast neoplasm.

Pathogenic germline variants in the gene have been shown to cause a moderate increased risk of breast cancer. Here, we present a striking family with a biallelic carrier of two frameshift pathogenic variants, to draw attention and to encourage a comprehensive genetic and cancer risk education for biallelic carriers of pathogenic variants.

Background: We sought to determine if lumpectomy patients who received perioperative opioid-sparing multimodal analgesia reported less pain when compared with those who received traditional opioid-based care.

Study Design: A prospective cohort of patients undergoing lumpectomy who received an opioid-sparing multimodal analgesia protocol [no opioids group (NOP)] was compared with a large cohort of patients who received traditional care [opioids group (OG)]. In-hospital and discharge opioids were compared using oral morphine equivalents (OMEs).

Background: A 10-step protocol employing multimodal analgesia was implemented in patients undergoing mastectomy to decrease the quantity of opioids prescribed at discharge.

Methods: Patients who received the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol were compared to a control group. Inpatient and discharge prescription of opioids were compared using oral morphine equivalents (OMEs), along with postoperative pain scores.

Background: The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is an effective adjunct in managing perioperative pain. We sought to determine if the use of intraoperative ketorolac as part of a multimodal ERAS protocol increased the risk of bleeding complications in breast surgery.

Methods: A subset analysis of a prospective cohort study including patients undergoing lumpectomy and mastectomy compared two groups: those who received intraoperative ketorolac and those who did not.

Purpose: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-obligate precursor to invasive ductal carcinoma. The authors sought to discuss the evidence suggesting that not all DCIS will progress to invasive disease if left untreated.

Results: Four lines of evidence align to suggest that not all of this in-situ disease progresses to invasive cancer: its prevalence on screening mammography, studies of missed diagnoses, incidental findings in autopsy specimens, and large retrospective reviews of those treated with excision alone.
