0:00

So our next patient is a 52-year-old woman.

0:03

For a follow-up of a probably benign

0:06

five millimeter oval mass in the right breast.

0:09

And this is the 12-month follow-up exam.

0:11

So it's always important to go back and check

0:14

your prior exams, find out when did this start?

0:17

You know, are we now at one year or two years?

0:20

What are we following?

0:22

You know, which thing is being

0:23

considered probably benign.

0:25

It's always good to know and go back

0:27

and check and make sure that there

0:29

hasn't been any change over time.

0:32

And so here's our patient's diagnostic

0:34

mammogram, CC and MLO views.

0:37

And we're following a

0:39

five millimeter mass in the right breast.

0:42

And we'd go through both mammograms

0:44

and their tomosynthesis views,

0:47

just to make sure that there's nothing

0:49

new, and then we'll look with, with

0:52

ultrasound at the area of interest.

0:57

I'm just going to pull up her ultrasound.

0:58

So this is in the right breast, 8 o'clock

1:00

position, 4 centimeters from the nipple, and this

1:04

is the 5-millimeter hypoechoic mass that we're

1:09

following, and it was not changing over time.

1:13

And this may be a little

1:14

complicated cyst or fibroadenoma.

1:18

But we go back and look at other exams over time.

1:24

This was her previous exam showing the same mass.

1:30

And I think we had one other, there was

1:34

a cluster of cysts here, but then this

1:37

was the mass that was recommended for

1:39

six-month follow-up, looking the same.

1:43

So we'll go back through and just make sure that

1:46

the area of interest was the same every time.

1:49

And it was in her case,

1:52

and this was the one-year follow-up.

1:54

We didn't have quite two years of follow-up.

1:56

42 00:01:57,540 --> 00:01:59,670 So we're going to follow up one more time

1:59

with the diagnostic bilateral mammogram and

2:02

targeted right breast ultrasound in one year.
