So our next group of cases
0:02
was categorized as BI-RADS 4.
0:06
And our first case is a 65-year-old woman
0:08
with a history of LCIS and atypia, so
0:13
atypical ductal hyperplasia and atypical
0:15
lobular hyperplasia in the left breast, and
0:18
she's being seen for high-risk screening.
0:22
So we're looking at the patient's MIP first, and
0:25
you can see she has mild background parenchymal
0:27
enhancements, some normal blood vessels, and
0:30
there's sort of a prominent linear non-mass
0:32
enhancement here in the left breast laterally.
0:36
Okay.
0:36
So we'll take another look at everything.
0:41
So we're going to pull in her T1 non-FATSAT
0:45
and her first subtracted image or series.
0:51
And we can see that she has a lot
0:53
of fibroglandular tissue, sort of
0:54
heterogeneous to extreme, and she's
1:00
had prior surgery and biopsies.
1:02
So there's a biopsy clip artifact here in the
1:05
left breast and also here in the left breast.
1:16
And then she's had a post-surgical change
1:21
here with a post-surgical collection.
1:23
So that was at a biopsy site or
1:26
excisional biopsy site for LCIS.
1:32
And we can see that she has fairly mild
1:34
background parenchymal enhancement.
1:41
And as we're scrolling through, the most
1:43
noticeable thing is just this linear non-mass
1:48
enhancement here in the anterior left breast.
1:54
It seems it's a little bit
1:57
more than just this part.
1:59
There's a little bit more to it
2:00
going backwards or going posteriorly.
2:04
You can see there kind of
2:06
extends a little bit longer.
2:09
And this was
2:10
new or certainly more prominent
2:12
compared to prior studies.
2:14
So that was concerning.
2:17
We also looked at the pre and post images.
2:22
Sometimes that gives you a
2:23
different look at this area.
2:27
We can see that it's right at
2:28
the edge of her tissue here.
2:35
It really wasn't anything
2:36
else on any of her images.
2:40
And we went through every, every series.
2:43
So this linear non-mass enhancement
2:46
in a fairly high-risk person who
2:49
has had prior episodes of atypia.
2:53
We were concerned enough about this that we
2:55
recommended an MRI-guided biopsy, which was
2:58
done, and this was a lobular carcinoma in situ.
3:02
So she returned to her surgeon for
3:06
an additional excisional biopsy.
3:10
So this was a BI-RADS 4.
