Our next case is a 54-year-old
0:03
woman for high-risk screening.
0:05
She has a history of left breast
0:07
biopsy with a result of atypical lobular hyperplasia,
0:11
and she also has a strong
0:13
family history of breast cancer.
0:16
So we'll take a look at her T1-weighted
0:20
non-fat-saturated study on the left side
0:24
of the screen and her first subtraction
0:26
series on the right side of the screen.
0:29
And on the T1-weighted non-fat-saturated
0:34
sequence, you can see that she has heterogeneous
0:36
fibroglandular tissue and relatively little
0:39
background parenchymal enhancement, so
0:41
mild background parenchymal enhancement.
0:45
In spite of having a lot of tissue.
0:50
We can also see on this T1-weighted image
0:52
that she has a surgical scar here in the left
0:58
lateral anterior breast, and that's from her
1:03
excision of her atypical lobular hyperplasia.
1:06
And there's no abnormal enhancement
1:09
at that excisional biopsy site.
1:14
Look at her MIP study, which shows
1:17
some blood vessels and really not a
1:18
whole lot of enhancement in her breast.
1:22
And then just going back to get her source
1:25
images for T1-weighted fat-saturated pre- and
1:30
post-contrast images, we scroll through those
1:33
together, we can look for areas of enhancement,
1:37
a couple of normal lymph nodes, really nothing
1:42
suspicious here, and of course we look at
1:46
our color map, and T1. Nothing there either.
1:50
So this is BI-RADS 2, basically very close
1:54
to BI-RADS 1, but I would give it a BI-RADS 2
1:56
for the excisional biopsy scar.
2:00
And otherwise, she is looking normal
2:03
and will recommend a follow-up high
2:05
risk screening breast MRI in one year.
