Second case is a 40 year old female with
0:03
calcification seen on Baseline screening mammogram.
0:06
How would you describe these calcifications?
0:14
Great. So the answer to this is around calcifications.
0:20
Here you could see pretty round calcification
0:24
in a grouped distribution.
0:34
So the next question would be what would be
0:37
the next step in managing this patient. So a
0:40
single group of round or punctate calcifications
0:43
can be assigned as bi rats
0:46
3 after you work up with the magnification
0:49
view given it's a baseline study.
0:53
So the answer to this question is by rats
0:56
3, which is short term mammographic follow-up again. It
1:00
is a not by Red zero additional evaluation
1:03
with MRI.
1:05
Is not indicated for calcification workup of
1:08
round calcification. It's not
1:11
by rights to return to screening because it is
1:14
a solitary group rather than bilateral and
1:17
diffuse so you don't want to return them to screening
1:20
and it is but it's not by rights
1:23
for because it is on a baseline study
1:26
and it's grouped round calcifications.
1:33
In this case, you could see the magnification CC
1:36
follow three years later. This has been stable for
1:39
three years.
1:41
So this is a companion case 42 year
1:44
old with calcification seen on Baseline screening
1:47
mammogram. You could see a group of punctate
1:50
and round calcification in grouped distribution, since
1:53
it was a baseline study by
1:56
rights three was assigned.
1:59
But when you look up when you look at the follow-up magnification
2:02
view in one year, you could
2:05
see there's a new mass now associated
2:08
with the calcification. So obviously this virus
2:11
three became barrettes for and it
2:14
was pathology yields and invasive adult
2:17
carcinoma with dcis.
2:20
So the teaching point for group of
2:23
round or punctate calcification is that
2:26
if you have a solitary group of round slash
2:29
functate calcification on a
2:32
baseline study, you can be assigned Pirates
2:35
three after you work up with magnification
2:38
View.
2:40
If those around calcifications are diffuse
2:43
and bilateral becomes by rats, too.
2:47
But you biopsy is needed when these round or
2:50
punctate calcification is in a linear or segmental
2:53
distribution, or if it is new
2:56
or increasing or it's adjacent to
2:59
a known cancer.
3:02
Again, biopsy is needed on the follow-up exam if
3:05
any of if there's any development of any suspicious
3:08
morphology or suspicious math.
3:11
Here you could see how the round cows round or
3:14
punctate calcification can be barrettes too bar at
3:17
three or barrettes for depending upon the
3:20
different scenarios.
