So the next type of finding that we see
0:03
recalled from screening mammography is a mass.
0:06
So we have a protocol for evaluating
0:10
masses at our institution.
0:12
So if the mass is greater than 10 millimeters
0:16
in size, 10 millimeters or greater, we will
0:18
go ahead and begin with ultrasound because
0:21
we feel like we're, we're getting there.
0:22
probably going to be able to
0:23
find this with ultrasound.
0:25
If the mass is less than 10 mm in size,
0:28
we go ahead and do spot compression views
0:30
in the CC and MLO projection and then a
0:33
full lateral view and then go ahead to
0:36
ultrasound as a second step as needed.
0:39
And if the screening mammogram was 2D,
0:42
and of course that's not typical for
0:43
us, but if it was a 2D mammogram,
0:46
we'll consider beginning with full CC and MLO.
0:50
Tomosynthesis views and then proceed
0:52
with the additional evaluation as needed.
0:57
There are lots of reasons for the appearance
1:00
of a mass on a screening mammogram.
1:02
It could be related to normal tissue.
1:05
Sometimes normal tissue has a curved edge
1:07
on one side and it, it can simulate a mass.
1:11
Um, often, uh, recalled masses end up being cysts.
1:15
Um, we can see sebaceous cysts, fibro
1:17
adenomas, papillomas, foid, these tumors.
1:21
Breast cancers, lymphoma,
1:23
metastatic disease, and lymph nodes.
1:25
Those are some of the common ones that we see.
