3 m.0:00
Our next patient is a 37-year-old
0:03
woman with focal left breast pain.
0:06
So for this patient, we have bilateral
0:08
CC views and bilateral MLO views.
0:11
She is 37, so because she's over 30 years
0:16
old, we'll start with a bilateral diagnostic
0:19
mammogram. In this case, CC and MLO views
0:22
of both breasts with tomosynthesis,
0:24
and then we'll ultrasound the area of pain.
0:27
So for her, we've put our little square marker in
0:30
the left upper outer breast in the area of pain,
0:34
and we'll take a closer look at these images.
0:39
So here's her left CC view, and we'll go
0:43
through her tomosynthesis images as well,
0:50
and we can see that marker here
0:52
on her skin in the lateral breast.
0:54
There's some dense tissue underlying that,
0:57
um, area, but nothing really standing out.
1:01
Everything looks good, and we'll go to our MLO
1:07
view, full size, then our tomosynthesis images.
1:17
Scrolling through, the tissue looks normal.
1:22
You can see our square marker on her skin here.
1:28
I think as we were going through, we, we saw
1:31
this asymmetry here in the central breast.
1:34
Sometimes you find some incidental finding.
1:37
So we went ahead and looked at that with a
1:40
spot compression view.
1:43
So here's our spot in that area.
1:47
And the tissue effaces
1:49
partially with spot compression.
1:53
We did a lateral view as
1:55
well, which looks very normal.
2:00
And we did a lateral view with tomosynthesis.
2:08
And I think, you know, in these patients who
2:10
are between 30 and 40, if they're at normal
2:14
risk, one of the challenges is that you have
2:18
to be comfortable that you're not going to
2:20
be seeing these patients again until age 40.
2:23
So, we usually try to work up,
2:25
um, other areas if we see them.
2:28
So, really nothing suspicious,
2:30
we've got our square marker again there.
2:32
So, our next step for her
2:34
would be to do ultrasound.sss
2:35
So, this is her ultrasound in the
2:38
area of pain, which is one o'clock,
2:40
four centimeters from the nipple.
2:42
So, we can see her skin,
2:43
her subcutaneous fat, um, dense tissue here.
2:48
And really tissue looks normal
2:51
throughout that lateral breast where
2:53
she stated that she had the pain.
2:55
So it was from one, one o'clock to four o'clock
2:58
position and all of that tissue looks normal.
3:01
So for her, we decided this was normal and
3:06
I think we gave her a BI-RADS category two
3:08
because of the breast asymmetries, um,
3:12
and then referred her back to her provider and
3:15
recommended, uh, screening mammography at age 40.
