Okay, so moving on to question number nine. There's
0:03
new calcification in the postalumpectomy oncoplastic
0:07
reduction. What is
0:10
the appropriate barat's assessment on these
0:13
on this calcification? So this
0:16
is by rats to benign finding
0:19
what we see is a rim calcification
0:22
with Associated fat and this
0:25
is classic for fat necrosis. Usually fat
0:28
necrosis occurs in the first two years of surgery
0:31
or radiation. If it
0:34
is, like let's say five six years unless it's
0:38
a very classic fat necrosis calcification.
0:41
I would you should have a low threshold
0:44
to biopsy those.
0:51
This is a companion case recently. It
0:54
was a screening callback at a from a
0:57
screening. This was right at the prior surgical site.
1:02
So here you could see if I
1:05
show you the other thing like here you could see there is
1:08
a little bit of hold on one second. There is
1:11
a little bit of fat.
1:14
You could see inside and so my
1:17
fellow was telling me that this could be fat necrosis. But
1:20
when you think carefully when you
1:23
look at it carefully, that's what I'm gonna do here. You
1:26
could see there's a
1:28
new density suggestive of
1:31
a mass surrounding this fat. And by
1:34
the way, this Distortion was it's supposed
1:37
surgical. It's always been there. So it was
1:40
supposed surgical distortion.
1:42
But there's this new density and you
1:45
could see these amorphous calcification extending anteriorly
1:48
towards the nipple.
1:53
So when you have both of these worries of features, you
1:56
should prompt that should
1:59
prompt a biopsy especially if you have Childs that
2:02
are ductal and extending to the nipple with the
2:05
exception of the large rod-like calcification.
2:08
Make sure you have low threshold to
2:11
biopsy. And in this case we biopsied and it
2:14
was invasive Dental carcinoma with dcis.
