What is: cyclical mastalgia

What is: US

100

True or false: patients taking daily medication for opioid use disorder should not breastfeed

What is: false

100

Next step in a patient < 30 years old with unilateral, serous, spontaneous nipple discharge and BIRADS 1-3 imaging findings?

What is: Duct excision



100

Three characteristics of nipple discharge that should prompt further workup

What is: Spontaneous, unilateral, from a single duct, clear, serous, or bloody

200

Bilateral breast pain firmness, swelling, occurring 3-5 days postpartum

What is: engorgement

200

First step in the workup of a >30 year old patient with clinically suspicious breast changes?

What is: mammogram

200

Two treatment modalities for plugged ducts

What is: Warm compress, massage, breastfeeding, lecithin 

200

Define BI-RADS category 4 and next step for all category 4 findings

What is: Suspicious→ tissue diagnosis 



200

Two sonographic features of of a simple breast cyst

What is: Anechoic, sharply circumscribed margins, posterior acoustic enhancement, refractive shadows

300

Most common proliferative breast mass in young women, typically small, well circumscribed, smooth/lobular painless mobile mass

What is: fibroadenoma

300

Two pharmacologic treatment options for mastalgia

What is: NSAIDs, danazol, tamoxifen, bromocriptine 

300

Two SSRI’s that are preferred options when breastfeeding

What is: Fluoxetine, citalopram

300

Next step in a patient >30 years old with non-suspicious palpable findings with BI-RADS 1 imaging results?

What is: Monitor for 1-2 years with physical exam and diagnostic imaging



300

Two sonographic features of a complex cyst/solid mass and the next step in management of any cyst with solid components

Internal echos, ill defined margins, wall thickening. Next step-> core biopsy

400

Complex, ill-defined fluid collection that occurs in the setting of inflammation. Can occur as a result of excessive deep tissue massaging of plugged ducts

What is: phlegmon

400

Two antibiotics used for treatment of mastitis

What is: Dicloxacillin 500mg QID, Clindamycin 300mg QID, Augmentin 875mg BID

400

Three risk factors for mastitis

What is: Cleft lip/palate, cracked nipples, infant attachment problems, local milk stasis, missed feedings, nipple piercings, plastic breast pads, previous mastitis, poor maternal nutrition, tight bras, short infant frenulum, use of manual breast pump

400

Next step in a patient >30 years old with abnormal nipple discharge and BIRADS 4-5 imaging findings

What is: tissue biopsy

400

Three maternal benefits of breastfeeding

What is: Decreased risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, DM, HTN, MI

500

Collection of obstructed milk in a cyst-like cavity

What is: galactocele

500

Most common cause of abnormal nipple discharge

What is: Intraductal papilloma

500

Two “signs” of adequate milk supply

What is: Average feeding frequency of 8-12 feedings per day, steady weight gained by day 4-5, 6-8 wet diapers on a daily basis

500

Next step in a patient <30 years old with BIRADS 3 imaging results after a breast US and low clinical suspicion  

What is: Physical exam +/- ultrasound/mammogram every 6-12 months for 1-2 years to assess stability

500

Three conditions infants with suboptimal breastfeeding are at increased risk of

What is: Otitis media, lower respiratory infection, Crohn’s disease, UC, GI infection, obesity, necrotizing enterocolitis, SIDS, leukemia, T1DM
