Management of Breast Calcifications - Case 14

HIDE
PrevNext

0:00

Case number 14 is a focally symmetry

0:04

seen on the upper auta region on a page of post-menopausal

0:07

patient with essentially Baseline

0:10

screening mammogram.

0:13

And here on the spot magnification view you

0:16

could see the focal asymmetry with fine

0:19

pleomorphic calcification which

0:22

are bi rats for and when we

0:25

did the biopsy it was IDC with dcis. So

0:28

the teaching Point here is that

0:31

when you have a focal asymmetry with Associated

0:34

calcifications, even if it is on a

0:37

baseline study is worrisome and should prompt biopsy.

0:44

So in summary when you have calcifications

0:47

on screening mammography, it's only

0:50

by Red zero or barrettes too by Red zero

0:53

with magnification views if it is a baseline

0:56

calcification or if it

0:59

is new or increasing from the prior screening or if

1:02

it's baracks too and if it's a typically benign calcifications

1:07

And again calcifications are diagnostic mammogram. You

1:10

always want to get magnification CC and 90

1:13

lateral View and also tangential view

1:16

for skin calc workup again. It's

1:19

by rats too. If it's typically benign and you

1:22

can assign barrets three countsification if it

1:25

is round or pungate calcification in

1:28

a grouped Distribution on a baseline mammogram, and

1:31

it's Barrett's four if there's

1:34

any suspicious distribution or morphology.

1:38

Thanks, and I will that

1:41

ends my case reviews and I'm

1:44

open to any questions.

1:48

Thank you.
