Diagnosis

7. C50.9- Breast cancer
–
Patient presents to the clinic and alarmed by a painful lump in
her right breast that she discovered while showering. The
reported symptoms and signs noted on physical examination
suggest findings of breast carcinoma which can be justified with
a mammogram and other studies (Burstein, Lacchetti, & Griggs,
2016).
Differential Diagnoses
-
N64.89- Galactocele
–
Patient presents to her clinic alarmed by a painful lump in her
right breast that she discovered while showering (Burstein,
Lacchetti, & Griggs, 2016).
N60.0- Breast cyst– The patient presents to her internist
alarmed by a painful lump in her right breast. Tender breast
lumps are a common presentation and could point out to a wide
variety of diseases. As such, it is necessary to conduct a
detailed history to come up with a detailed diagnosis. On the
case of S.M, histology would be of great significance to come
up with a definitive diagnosis. (Burstein, Lacchetti, & Griggs,
2016).
N64.4- Mastodynia- S.M shows sign and symptom of breast
tenderness of unknown cause which requires further
investigation.
PLAN and education
Test: Bilateral breast mammography and Right breast U-S

8. Ultrasound-guided ultrasonography for histology to confirm
breast cancer
Medications: Ibuprofen 400mg PO as needed TID for pain for
10 days.
Non-pharmacological treatments: applied warm compress as
tolerated daily; and practice aerobic exercise for at least 1 hour
a day and three days in a week for overweight to manage
weight. (Hollier, A. (2016)
Education: The patient is to be educated on taking the
prescribed medication and the associated side effects (Burstein,
Lacchetti, & Griggs, 2016).
Beware of Ibuprofen side effects: heartburn, stomach pain,
nausea, gas, and constipation (Healthline.com)
Referrals: None for now, pending Mammogram and U-S results.
Follow: Patient to come back to the clinic in 1week for
histological results.
