New Focus of Enhancement – Benign

HIDE
PrevNext

0:01

So this case is discussing a focus, and it's

0:05

a 71-year-old woman for high-risk screening.

0:08

She has a history of right breast cancer,

0:10

and bilateral excisional biopsies, and

0:12

there's a pretty strong family history.

0:15

So, this is the case that I just described,

0:17

and we're seeing STIR images on the left

0:21

and the contrast-enhanced images on the right.

0:26

And just going through this, this

0:30

patient has some foci that are enhancing.

0:35

There's a lumpectomy site

0:37

here in the right breast.

0:41

Then when we get down to this

0:43

lower inner right breast, there's

0:45

this focus that really stands out.

0:49

And a little hard to tell whether

0:52

it's T2 bright, maybe a little bit.

0:56

There's a lot of T2 signal in this

0:57

patient's breast, so it can be hard to tell.

1:00

But this was definitely unique from

1:02

background, and it was new from previous exams.

1:05

So, because it was new, it went ahead to MRI

1:09

guided biopsy, and this was a benign biopsy.
