51-year-old woman recalled for calcifications in right upper outer breast

Our next patient is a 51-year-old woman recalled

0:04

from screening mammography for evaluation of

0:06

calcifications in the right upper outer breast.

0:10

So these are the screening

0:11

views for our next patient.

0:14

And she was recalled for evaluation of these

0:17

calcifications in the upper outer right breast.

0:21

And just to look at them a little

0:22

bit more closely, here they are.

0:24

Looks like they're linear branching forms.

0:31

And here they are in the MLO view.

0:33

So these were further evaluated

0:37

with magnification views.

0:39

So, this is the lateral magnification view.

0:45

I'm going to magnify that a little bit more.

0:46

You can see there are some linear

0:49

calcifications with branching forms.

0:51

Some of them are a little bit more coarse,

0:53

heterogeneous, but in general, we would call

0:56

these fine linear or fine linear branching.

1:00

And this is the CC magnification view,

1:03

again, with the linear branching forms,

1:08

fine linear branching calcification.

1:10

So these are considered suspicious

1:13

by BI-RADS category four, and they

1:15

were recommended for biopsy.

1:17

So they were biopsied using mammogram

1:19

guidance, and we got a result of atypical

1:23

ductal hyperplasia, and on surgical excision,

1:27

this upgraded to ductal carcinoma in situ.
