3 m.75-year-old man, BRCA2 carrier, with palpable lump in right breast
3 m.0:00
So our next patient is a 46-year-old
0:03
woman who was recalled for evaluation of a
0:05
developing asymmetry in the right breast.
0:09
So we have CC (craniocaudal) and MLO (mediolateral oblique) views from the screening
0:12
mammogram on this patient, and we can see
0:14
that there's a density here in the right
0:17
upper and outer breast, and compared to
0:21
some prior exams, this had really increased.
0:27
Over time so that now it was quite
0:31
apparent that there was a change here.
0:34
If I just pull up some of the prior images,
0:38
this is from a few years prior, you can see
0:41
that although there was a little bit of density
0:43
here, this really has developed over time.
0:47
So, you know, we have a developing asymmetry
0:50
that was recalled and we, uh, worked it up.
0:55
With some additional imaging, and that was
0:58
the CC and MLO spot compression views and a
1:01
full lateral view according to our protocol.
1:05
So this was the MLO spot compression
1:08
view and the CC spot compression view.
1:13
So you can see that that persists on both views.
1:18
And this was the true lateral view,
1:20
also showing this large area of asymmetric density.
1:25
And we had tomosynthesis images through this area.
1:32
You can see almost a nodular texture to
1:35
this tissue, but definitely persistent.
1:42
Tomosynthesis through the spot
1:44
compression in the MLO projection,
1:50
and there it is.
1:53
And tomosynthesis through the spot compression
1:58
in the CC or exaggerated CC projection.
2:02
So we have a definite finding there.
2:04
We thought this was large enough that we
2:06
might be able to see it on ultrasound.
2:08
So we went ahead and did an
2:09
ultrasound, and this is what we found.
2:12
So we found this echogenic area of tissue with
2:15
a lot of little hypoechoic spaces within it.
2:19
There it is in the radial projection and an
2:24
anti-radial pretty large patch of tissue.
2:27
A little bit of blood flow, not much,
2:32
but we felt like this was a definite correlate
2:35
to the mammographic finding, and that
2:37
we could target a biopsy to this area.
2:40
We gave this a BI-RADS 4, BI-RADS
2:43
Category 4 assessment, um, suspicious,
2:46
and we went ahead and recommended an
2:49
ultrasound-guided biopsy of this area.
2:52
So when we did the ultrasound biopsy, what we
2:54
got as a result was PASH again, pseudoangiomatous
2:58
stromal hyperplasia, and dense stromal fibrosis,
3:01
which we thought was benign and concordant.
3:03
So we've been following this since that time,
3:06
and there really has been no further change.
