3 m.0:00
The next case is a 61-year-old woman with
0:03
a history of left breast DCIS 10 years ago,
0:07
and she's presenting for annual follow-up.
0:11
So these are the routine views for this patient.
0:14
She's had a lumpectomy on the left,
0:17
she's had excisional biopsy on the
0:19
right, so her scars are marked.
0:22
She's had biopsies bilaterally,
0:24
so there are biopsy clips in both breasts.
0:28
And what caught my eye here on the
0:31
left MLO view were these little areas
0:35
of asymmetry in the lower breast.
0:37
Her lumpectomy was in the upper breast.
0:41
So we looked through these areas with
0:44
tomosynthesis and it did look like indeed there
0:48
were some asymmetries, maybe masses there,
0:53
and those were new compared to a previous exam.
0:57
We did some extra work with spot
1:01
compression, you know, it definitely
1:03
looks like there were two masses there.
1:07
We thought on the CC view that
1:10
these were probably lateral.
1:13
Here's her lumpectomy site.
1:15
It's a little hard to see them.
1:17
I think maybe one of them is visible here.
1:21
Did a spot compression CC trying to find them.
1:25
I think we see one here.
1:28
She went from just an easy
1:30
follow-up the lumpectomy site to.
1:34
You know, a search for additional
1:36
masses that she hadn't had before.
1:41
This was her lateral view, and
1:44
we definitely thought there was
1:45
something here and probably here.
1:48
And we had similar views from the prior
1:50
study that definitely didn't show this.
1:52
You can see the distortion at her lumpectomy site.
1:55
You know, there's her scar marker,
1:58
that interrupted line on the skin,
2:00
and then there's, you know, underlying
2:02
distortion at the lumpectomy site.
2:04
So this is really a different part of the breast.
2:07
So we went ahead and looked with ultrasound,
2:10
and we found one mass that was sort of mixed
2:15
echotexture, hypoechoic and hyperechoic.
2:18
At the three o'clock position.
2:20
And then this at the four o'clock position, there
2:23
was an echogenic mass with some blood flow in it.
2:28
So these two areas were recommended for
2:30
biopsy and both had similar pathology.
2:35
It was invasive mammary carcinoma
2:37
with ductile and lobular features.
2:39
So she previously had had only
2:41
a ductile carcinoma in situ.
2:43
These were actually invasive cancers.
2:46
So this was a recurrence in the same breast.
