Clustered Ring NME – Benign

HIDE
PrevNext

0:01

Next, we're going to look at a case of a

0:03

58-year-old woman with a history of left breast

0:05

cancer that was treated with mastectomy and

0:09

she has right breast pain and nipple discharge.

0:12

Her mammogram was negative, and in her

0:16

situation, her doctor ordered a breast MRI

0:20

for further evaluation.

0:23

So this is the patient's MRI.

0:25

We're really only looking at the right

0:27

breast because the left breast has had

0:30

a mastectomy with no reconstruction.

0:34

So coming from the top,

0:39

when we get into the central portion

0:40

of her breast, we start getting into

0:42

this clustered ring enhancement.

0:45

You can start seeing these rings of

0:49

enhancement with dark signal centrally.

0:54

Another pair here.

1:00

We get into the center of the breast.

1:01

You see three rings right there and

1:04

another one here, but she has this

1:08

whole area of non-mass enhancement,

1:11

but it has that clustered ring pattern.

1:14

When you stop and look at the individual

1:16

areas, there are multiple clustered rings

1:20

throughout that whole enhancing area.

1:26

Probably best seen right here in the middle,

1:29

but clustered ring enhancement.

1:32

So we did recommend biopsy for this,

1:35

and this ended up being a benign etiology.

1:41

She had ductal tissue with adjacent inflammatory

1:44

changes, and not sure if this was related to her

1:47

pain or discharge, but it was benign.
