Complicated Cyst that Resolved on Ultrasound

HIDE

0:01

Here's another example of a complicated cyst.

0:03

This was a call back from a screening mammogram

0:06

and there was a focal asymmetry on mammogram,

0:09

and then in the upper outer left breast

0:11

at 2 o'clock, 12cm from the nipple,

0:13

we see this complicated cyst

0:16

and was given a BI-RADS 3 with recommendation for a six month follow up.

0:20

We also saw, at the same location,

0:24

a morphologically normal intramammary lymph nodes.

0:26

You can see that here.

0:30

So there were two findings at the same location,

0:32

an intramammary lymph node and a complicated cyst.

0:34

Now, the intramammary lymph node was given a BI-RADS 2,

0:38

and the complicated cyst was given a BI-RADS 3.

0:41

So the patient came back six months later and we did an ultrasound exam at that same

0:45

location, left breast, 2 o'clock, 12cm from the nipple.

0:48

We see that morphologically normal intramammary lymph node again,

0:54

but that complicated cyst is no longer there.

0:56

So the cyst has completely resolved.

0:58

That is very reassuring.

1:00

We're able to switch the study

1:03

to a BI-RADS 2 with a resolution of that BI-RADS 3 finding.
