3 m.0:00
Our next case is a 53-year-old woman
0:03
with a palpable lump in the right breast.
0:09
So in this case, the patient is 53 years old.
0:12
She's having regular screening mammograms,
0:15
and her last full bilateral screening
0:17
mammogram was over six months ago.
0:20
She has a symptom on one side, so we'll go
0:22
ahead and do a new unilateral right mammogram.
0:27
So that's CC and MLO views.
0:30
So we have MLO view here on the top and
0:32
CC view on the bottom of your screen.
0:35
The triangular skin marker is placed
0:37
over the area of palpable concern.
0:39
And we have some heterogeneously dense
0:41
tissue here, but no obvious abnormality.
0:44
And we'll go ahead and look at
0:46
each of these images in turn with
0:48
tomosynthesis images as well.
0:51
So here's the right CC.
0:54
Just scrolling through, we see
0:55
that sort of uniformly dense.
0:58
Tissue, no obvious mass or abnormality.
1:03
And then we have the MLO view and the
1:08
tomosynthesis view, just scrolling through there.
1:12
And we can see underlying that triangular
1:14
skin marker, nothing really obvious there.
1:18
So we're, um, you know, definitely going to move
1:21
on to ultrasound and, uh, we'll look at that next.
1:25
And here's our ultrasound.
1:27
So, in the area of palpable concern,
1:29
this patient has a cyst, a fluid
1:33
filled cyst there, and it's about
1:38
1.6 centimeters, yeah,
1:40
1.6 centimeters, and there's a second one as well.
1:44
In this case, it may have been that it
1:47
was a little bit close to the nipple or
1:49
something about the surrounding tissue,
1:51
but the borders of this cyst are a little bit
1:54
irregular, mostly smooth and circumscribed,
1:58
but then some irregular borders here.
2:01
So for that reason, we ended up, uh, advising
2:04
assisted aspiration, which was subsequently
2:07
done and this completely resolved with aspiration.
2:11
So this is an example of a palpable mass,
2:14
palpable lump that corresponds to a cyst.
