So this is another case of an oval circumscribed mass.
0:04
This is a call back from a screening mammogram,
0:06
and we saw this oval circumscribed mass measured up to 1.2 cm.
0:12
And this was appropriately given a BI-RADS 3,
0:16
with a recommendation for a six month follow up.
0:19
So when the patient came back in six months,
0:21
we saw that the mass increased in size.
0:24
So initially, it measured up to 1.2 cm.
0:28
And at the six-month follow up, it measured 1.8 x 1.2 x 2.3 cm.
0:36
This was greater than 20% increase in size over that six months.
0:41
So when we see that increase in size, we want to do a biopsy.
0:45
We wonder, could this be a fast growing cancer?
0:49
Could this be a phyllodes tumor?
0:51
This was recommended for biopsy
0:53
and subsequently underwent an ultrasound-guided biopsy.
0:58
And the pathology showed a cellular fibroepithelial lesion,
1:03
suspicious for phyllodes and is recommended for an excision.
1:08
This is a great example of showing why we're doing that six month follow up.
1:12
So we caught this mass as it was growing.
1:16
It did have an opportunity to grow, but it's still a small mass.
1:21
It would still be something that is easy to remove.
