Ms. McAllister is a 41 years year old female with a family history of breast cancer in mother diagnosed in late 50s. She presents today for the evaluation the calcifications in the left outer breast on the screening mammogram 9/21/2015. An ML and 2 spot magnification compression views of left breast were performed digitally and reviewed with the aid of R2 CAD 9.3. The breast parenchyma is composed of scattered fibroglandular density, unchanged in pattern and distribution. The previously noted calcification in the left outer breast, posterior depth, persists on the spot magnification views. No suspicious mass or areas of architectural distortion are present. Please note that our department has a research MRI available for patient's such as this (dense breasts and will have biopsy) but that due to the patient's complicated schedule, she is not sure if she will be interested in the study.
Suspicious calcifications in the left outer breast. Stereotactic biopsy is recommended.BIRADS: 4 - Suspicious Abnormality.RECOMMENDATION: H - Percutaneous Biopsy/Aspiration.
