A patient submitted outside study for review. Submitted for review are digital mammographic images (3/31/15, 4/6/15, 10/9/15, 11/2/15), ultrasound images of right breast (10/12/15), images from ultrasound guided biopsy and postprocedural right mammographic images (11/2/2015), breast MRI (11/10/2015), ultrasound images of right breast (11/12/2015), images from stereotactic needle biopsy of right breast and postprocedural right mammographic images (11/19/2015) performed at Presence St. Joseph Medical Center. For comparison, digital mammographic images (1/11/14) are available. DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHIC IMAGES (3/31/15, 4/6/15, 10/9/15, 11/2/15): The breast parenchyma is composed of scattered fibroglandular elements (BiRADS Density Category B), unchanged in pattern and distribution.In the right breast at lateral aspect around 9:00 position, there are pleomorphic calcifications, including fine linear type with a developing focal asymmetry. The calcifications are extending segmentally in discontiguous fashion, measuring 60 x 40 mm (AP x LR). The focal asymmetry is present at posterior aspect of these calcifications, measuring 11 mm. There is another asymmetry seen best on CC view at medial anterior aspect of the right breast measuring 7 mm.A circumscribed oval mass with multiple coarse benign-appearing calcifications is present at 12:00 position in the right breast, likely a fibroadenoma.No dominant mass, suspicious microcalcifications or areas of architectural distortion are noted in left breast. ULTRASOUND IMAGES OF RIGHT BREAST (10/12/15):Ill-defined hypoechoic mass measuring 7 x 9 mm at 9:00 position with echogenic rim is detected, corresponding to the focal asymmetry seen on the mammogram at posterior aspect of the segmentally distributed calcifications.IMAGES FROM ULTRASOUND GUIDED BIOPSY AND POSTPROCEDURAL RIGHT MAMMOGRAPHIC IMAGES (11/2/2015):Ultrasound guided biopsy was performed for the mass at 9:00 position with an appropriate needle placement. Postprocedural mammograms demonstrate a marker clip (Hydromark) at the site of the focal asymmetry at 9:00 position in the right breast.Per outside radiology report, the result was malignant.BREAST MRI (11/10/2015):The study was performed with a protocol outlined in the outside report.There are 2 enhancing masses in the right breast, one at 9:00 position measuring 19 x 13 x 12 mm (AP x LR x CC), and the other at 3:00 position measuring 14 x 21 x 11 mm. The one at 9:00 position is proven carcinoma and the marker clip is present at the anterior aspect of this mass. Non-mass enhancement is present between the two masses, measuring 49 x 71 x 20 mm.No abnormal enhancement is seen in the left breast.No abnormal lymph nodes are present in either axilla.ULTRASOUND IMAGES OF RIGHT BREAST (11/12/2015):The study was performed as second look ultrasound to look for a correlate of MR detected mass at 3:00 position in the right breast. No sonographic correlate was detected in this study.IMAGES FROM STEREOTACTIC NEEDLE BIOPSY OF RIGHT BREAST AND POSTPROCEDURAL RIGHT MAMMOGRAPHIC IMAGES (11/19/2015):Stereotactic biopsy was performed for the asymmetry best seen on CC view at medial right breast, because the asymmetry is likely correlating to the MR detected mass at 3:00 position. Postprocedural mammograms demonstrate a marker clip at upper inner aspect of the right breast, near the site of the enhancing mass seen on the MRI. Distance between 2 clips is 135 mm on CC view.Per outside radiology report, the biopsy result was malignant; invasive ductal carcinoma.
1. Biopsy proven carcinoma in the right breast, 2 sites; one at 9:00 position and the other at 3:00 position. Mammograms demonstrate suspicious calcifications segmentally at lateral right breast and MRI demonstrates extensive non-mass enhancement between the two malignant masses in the right breast.2. No mammographic or MR evidence of malignancy in the left breast.3. No MR evidence of abnormal lymph nodes in either axilla.BIRADS: 6 - Known cancer.RECOMMENDATION: X - No Letter.
