Management of Breast Calcifications - Case 10

HIDE
PrevNext

0:00

This is a case number 10 where a 70

0:03

year old was called back from screening.

0:06

So on the spot images you could see

0:09

there's a solitary math.

0:12

With indistinct margins you see the margins

0:15

are in distinct here and here and you

0:18

could see there's core scalifications again.

0:21

All of these worrisome

0:24

features should prompt biopsy.

0:27

And in this case, it was

0:30

invasive cancer with metaplastic features.

0:37

I just want to show you a companion case with masks with

0:40

calcification here. You see a 60 year old with bilateral palpable

0:43

masses here in contrast

0:46

to the priorities that I shown there are multiple

0:49

oval masses with circumscribed margin

0:52

and some of

0:55

this containing course pop-like calcifications.

0:58

These are in the Looting fibroidinomas and

1:01

it's by rats too. So here you could see

1:04

there's different phases of inverloading fibroid enormous.

1:07

So here you just see the mass and then

1:10

here you could see the mass.

1:13

It starts with peripheral calcification and

1:16

in the Final Phase, you just see the

1:19

popcorn calcification and you don't see the

1:22

underlying Mass again this when you

1:25

have multiple circumscribed masses you want

1:28

to it's usually a sign of benignity

1:31

whereas um, when I when I show

1:34

you back on the prior study always beware

1:37

of solitary Mass with a non-circumscribed

1:40

margin associated with calcifications.
