A patient submitted outside study for review. Submitted for review are digital mammographic images (4/21/15, 10/14/15), ultrasound images of right breast (10/14/15), images from ultrasound guided biopsy of right breast and postprocedural right mammographic images (10/21/2015) performed at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital. For comparison, digital mammographic images (5/27/14, 12/6/13) are available. DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHIC IMAGES (4/21/15, 10/14/15):The breast parenchyma is composed of scattered fibroglandular elements (BiRADS Density Category B), unchanged in pattern and distribution. Multiple surgical clips are present at 12:00 position in the right breast, at the site of prior surgery. There is a developing mass at the site of prior surgery in the right breast, measuring 35 x 30 mm on CC view of 10/14/2015. No abnormal findings are seen in the right retroareolar region, where breast MRI (11/2/15) demonstrated an enhancing mass.No dominant mass, suspicious microcalcifications or areas of architectural distortion are noted in left breast. ULTRASOUND IMAGES OF RIGHT BREAST (10/14/15):An irregularly shaped hypoechoic mass is visualized at 12:00 position in the right breast, measuring 21 x 18 x 23 mm, corresponding to the mass seen on the mammogram. No abnormal lymph nodes are visualized in 4 images of right axilla.IMAGES FROM ULTRASOUND GUIDED BIOPSY OF RIGHT BREAST AND POSTPROCEDURAL RIGHT MAMMOGRAPHIC IMAGES (10/21/2015):Ultrasound guided needle biopsy was performed for the mass in the right breast with an appropriate needle placement. A marker clip (coil shaped) is present within the mass at anterior aspect.Per outside radiology report, the result was malignant; invasive ductal carcinoma.
Biopsy proven carcinoma in the right breast. BIRADS: 6 - Known cancer.RECOMMENDATION: X - No Letter.
