BETTY BURNS I HUMAN CASE STUDY 2
Betty burn was a member of the group of warriors of hope. This group consisted of breast cancer
fighters who came together to give hope to each other. Unfortunately, Betty Burns battled hard
and passed away in August 2012. Breast burn is a burning sensation in one’s breast caused by
functional, extrinsic or uncontrolled conditions. The burning pain is experienced inside the
breast. However, because of the breast innervations, the pain might radiate to the chest, back,
arm and neck.
History
Historically, the menstrual cycle of a woman (some days to menstrual flow) causes the
breasts to increase in volume. The degree of tension, discomfort, and sensation is variable in
women during this time but disappears after menstruation is over. However, persistence and
severity of such symptoms is the primary reason premenopausal individuals look for medical
check-ups for breast burns. Such patients are often erroneously diagnosed for fibrocystic
diseases.
Physical examination
A physical examination of the breast is done physically by a medical practitioner. If the
doctor discovers that there is a lump in the breast, an abnormal thickening of the breast, or some
pain at a specific area of the chest, he/she should carry out an X-ray to know what it is.
Differential diagnosis
In the differential diagnosis, several considerations should be diagnosed. Circumscribed
breast wounds such as fibroadenoma and in cysts can be diagnosed. This indicates that a
fibrocystic disease might be emerging. It is done by a radiologist who must be familiar with the

made of epithelial and stromal components. Young women with complex fibroadenoma tumor [Show Less]
