Our next case is a 50-year-old woman with

0:05

a recent diagnosis of left breast cancer.

0:08

Three biopsies had already been performed,

0:11

all showing cancer, and we were doing the

0:16

MRI for evaluation of extent of disease.

0:20

So this is our MIP for this patient,

0:24

basically showing a large area of

0:26

segmental enhancement in the left breast.

0:30

Pull in some of our other images

0:34

just to show those, and she has

0:36

heterogeneous fibroglandular tissue.

0:38

Her background parenchymal enhancement is,

0:41

relatively mild, but then we get into this

0:44

segmental non-mass enhancement on the left side,

0:50

and this covers a large area.

0:54

Let's see here,

0:58

most of the lateral aspect of her breast.

1:04

Some of it is more distorted and mass-like.

1:07

The rest of it is more non-mass, and then

1:12

she had, she had already had a few different

1:17

biopsies, and they were all positive for

1:20

breast cancer, and mastectomy was planned.

1:26

Most of what we were doing was screening

1:29

the other side, and she did have, she

1:32

did have a few foci of enhancement.

1:38

Nothing really stood out, and no

1:42

additional biopsies were recommended.

1:44

So this is considered, uh, BI-RADS 6 exam.
