RESUMO
Flat Epithelia Atypia (FEA) is a proliferative lesion of the breast where cells demonstrate columnar change and cytologic atypia. This lesion has been identified as distinct from the classic atypical hyperplasias (AH). While many patients undergo excisional biopsy, management of FEA identified on core needle biopsy (CNB) is controversial, and the rate of associated ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive cancer is not well defined. The aim of this study was to determine the upstage rate of FEA diagnosed by CNB. We identified patients from a prospectively maintained data base who had FEA diagnosed by CNB from 01/2010 to 07/2015. Patient variables collected included age at presentation, imaging findings, pathologic findings following surgical excision, and subsequent development of breast cancer. Of 132 patients, 62 (n = 62/132, 47.0%) patients had FEA associated with DCIS and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) on CNB and were excluded from analysis. Of the remaining 70 patients, median age was 52 (range 31-84) years. Thirty-two (45.7%) patients had FEA plus AH, 4 (5.7%) patients had FEA plus lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), and 34 (48.6%) patients had FEA alone or with another non-pathologic finding (pure FEA). Two (6.3%) patients with FEA plus AH had DCIS or IDC on subsequent excisional biopsy. Of the 34 patients with pure FEA who underwent excisional biopsy, only one (2.9%) was found to have IDC. Twenty-two (64.7%) patients with pure FEA who underwent excisional biopsy presented with calcifications on mammography. None of these patients had cancer on excisional biopsy, and 10 (45.5%) patients had AH (3 ADH, 3 ALH, and 4 both ALH and ADH). Twelve (n = 12/34, 35.3%) patients with pure FEA underwent CNB for a mass or asymmetry noted on imaging. Of these 12 patients, 9 (75.0%) had benign findings on excisional biopsy, two (16.7%) patients had AH, and one (8.3%) patient had IDC. Median follow-up was 4.6 years (IQR 3.1-6.5 years). Three (4.3%) patients subsequently developed IDC, two of which were in the contralateral breast. FEA is often found in combination with ADH and ALH as well as carcinoma on CNB. In our study, pure FEA was upstaged to cancer in only 2.9% of patients. Mammographic findings unlikely predict upstaging to malignancy. These findings suggest that excisional biopsy may not be warranted in patients with pure FEA and could be managed with close imaging surveillance.

BACKGROUND: Resection of liver metastasis in small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNET) may improve survival, however, factors influencing prognosis are unclear. We evaluated how the extent of resection influences outcomes. METHODS: Patients with SBNET with liver metastasis from 1990 to 2013 who underwent resection of the primary tumor were identified. Outcomes among patients undergoing complete resection (CR), partial resection (PR), or no resection (NR) of liver metastases with resection of the primary tumor only were compared. RESULTS: One hundred eleven patients met the criteria. The median number of liver lesions was seven and median lesions resected was one. Fifty (45%) patients had NR, 41 (36.9%) underwent CR, and 20 (18.1%) underwent PR. The 5-year overall survival (OS) was 79.4% for NR, 84.7% for PR, and 100% for CR, demonstrating a trend that CR was best, followed by PR then NR (P = .02). 10-year OS showed no significant differences (72.7% NR; 84.7% PR; 82.5% CR; P = .10). Greater than 10 liver lesions (hazard ratio [HR] 3.6; P = 0.04) or receiving chemotherapy (HR 3.7; P = .03) were negative predictors of survival. CONCLUSION: The extent of resection of liver disease in SBNET influenced survival at 5 years but not at 10 years. In addition, more than 10 liver lesions and chemotherapy were predictors of mortality.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pre-operative localization of small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNET) is important for operative planning. The aim was to determine the effectiveness of pre-operative imaging and double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) in identifying extent of disease. METHODS: Database review identified 85 patients with primary SBNET between 2006 and 2013. Analysis included patients who underwent imaging, endoscopy, and surgery at our institution. RESULTS: Average age was 60.7 years. Sixty-six (77.1%) patients had a primary NET in the ileum. Seventy-two patients (67.3%) underwent CT, 47 (46.7%) had MRI, 44 (46.7%) had somatostatin receptor imaging (SRI), and 41 (39.3%) underwent DBE. The sensitivity of each in identifying the NET was 59.7% for CT, 54% for MRI, 56% for SRI, and 88.1% for DBE. Eighteen (21.2%) patients had primary tumors not identified on imaging. Of these 18, 13 underwent DBE, and 12 of 13 (92.3%) DBEs identified the primary lesion. DBE was significantly better at identifying the primary NET than CT, MRI or SRI (P = 0.004, 0.007, and 0.012). CONCLUSIONS: Most SBNETs are identified with a combination of imaging modalities. In those with unidentified primary tumors after imaging, DBE should be considered as it may provide valuable information as to the location of the primary tumor.

BACKGROUND: While nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) for the treatment of breast cancer is becoming more accepted, technical aspects are still evolving. Data regarding risk factors contributing to complications after NSM are limited. This study evaluated technical aspects on outcomes of NSM. METHODS: Review of our database identified 201 patients who had NSM during the period from January 2012 to June 2015. We compared the effect of operative techniques on surgical outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 351 NSM were performed in 201 patients. Mean patient age was 47 years. Inframammary (47 %) or periareolar (35 %) incisions were most frequent. Tumescence was used in 203 (58 %) NSM. Skin flaps were created using sharp dissection in 213 (61 %) and electrocautery in 138 (39 %) breasts. Nipple areola complex (NAC) necrosis was seen in 56 (16 %) breasts, of which 7 were severe (2 %). A higher rate of NAC complications was seen with periareolar incisions (p = 0.02). Sharp dissection did not result in significant rates of flap necrosis compared with electrocautery. Ten patients (3 %) had a positive anterior/deep margin, of which 7 (64 %) had an inframammary approach. Twenty-two (11 %) patients had an infection that required intravenous antibiotics. Fourteen (7 %) patients had implant loss. Dissection technique was not associated with implant loss (p = 1.0) or infection (p = 0.84). Forty-two (12 %) patients had radiation and seven (16 %) required implant removal. CONCLUSIONS: NSM has an acceptable complication rate. NAC necrosis requiring excision or implant loss is rare. Postmastectomy radiation is a significant risk factor for implant loss. Inframammary incisions have fewer ischemic complications but may result in tumor-involved margins.

Small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNETs) are often indolent, but occasionally, patients present with acute symptoms requiring emergent operative intervention. Our aim was to determine whether emergency surgery for SBNETs affects long-term outcomes. An institutional database was reviewed to identify patients with SBNET diagnosed between 1990 and 2015. Need for emergency resection (ER) was compared with elective resection (ELR). One hundred and thirty-four patients met inclusion criteria. Median age was 59 years (range, 21-91), and median tumor size was 1.5 cm (range, 0.1-5). Median follow-up time was 5.5 years. One hundred (74.6%) patients had ELR, whereas 34 (25.4%) required ER. ELR had a higher number of lymph nodes resected (median 12.5 vs 8 ER, P = 0.04); however, there was no difference in the number of positive nodes (median 3 vs 2, P = 0.85). There were 45 (33.6%) recurrences (31 [31.0%] ELR vs 14 [41.7%] ER, P = 0.29) and 13 (9.7%) deaths (7 [7.0%] ELR; 6 [17.6%] ER). There was no significant difference in 5-year disease-free survival (ELR 72.6% vs ER 77.9%, P = 0.71) or overall survival (ELR 97.2% vs ER 96.6%, P = 0.81). Although patients undergoing ER have significantly fewer lymph nodes resected, they have comparable recurrence rates and long-term outcomes with those patients undergoing ER.

Small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNET) account for most gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors. Patients often present with late-stage disease; however, there is little information regarding factors that contribute to recurrence. Database review identified 301 patients diagnosed with SBNET between 1990 and 2013. Univariate analysis included patients who underwent complete resection. Survival was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. A total of 147 patients met study criteria. Average age was 60 years (range 21-91); 49 per cent were male. Thirty-seven (25.3%) patients had laparoscopic resection, and 29 (19.9%) patients had only small bowel disease, whereas 108 (72.6%) had nodal metastasis. Five-year overall and disease-free survival were 97.5 and 73.5 per cent. Forty-seven (32%) patients had recurrence. The recurrence group was more likely to have an open operation (59.6 vs 32%, P < 0.01), mesenteric invasion, or lymphatic metastasis (87.2 vs 67%, P < 0.01) compared with the no-recurrence group. Cox regression analysis showed that variables associated with recurrence included nodal disease (HR 9.06, P = 0.03), lymphovascular invasion (LVI) (3.95, P < 0.01), perineural invasion (PNI) (3.48, P < 0.01), and mesenteric involvement (3.77, P = 0.03). Patients with SBNET presenting with nodal metastasis, mesenteric involvement, LVI, or PNI have a higher risk of recurrence. Closer surveillance should be considered after operative resection.
