Our next case is a 34-year-old
0:03
woman for high-risk screening.
0:05
This was her baseline MRI, and she had
0:08
a history of right breast biopsy and a
0:10
strong family history of breast cancer.
0:13
So to start with, this is the patient's
0:15
MIP, and this is a case we saw earlier
0:18
in this Mastery Series, but I think
0:20
it's a good example of, uh, BI-RADS 3.
0:24
So she has asymmetric background
0:26
parenchymal enhancement, lots of
0:28
enhancement here on the right side,
0:31
less on the left, but the enhancement she
0:34
has on the left is a little bit more focal.
0:36
And
0:39
we're going to pull in her T1 and
0:44
her first post-contrast images.
0:48
So she has heterogeneous
0:52
or extremely fibroglandular tissue.
0:55
She's had a biopsy on the right, so you see the
0:58
susceptibility artifact from her biopsy clip.
1:00
And then you can see all this enhancement
1:03
here, mostly on the right side.
1:10
And in her case, we felt that since this
1:12
was a baseline and the enhancement looked
1:15
like it might be, um, mostly at the edges of
1:19
her tissue, kind of a very typical pattern
1:22
of background parenchymal enhancement,
1:26
we elected to do a six-month follow-up.
1:28
And mostly that was because this
1:29
wasn't symmetric bilaterally.
1:32
And she did have some more focal
1:35
enhancement here on the left.
1:38
So we considered this to be BI-RADS 3, and
1:41
we saw her in six months, at which time the
1:45
enhancement had almost completely resolved.
