All right, so that was case. Number one. So case
0:04
number two 54 year old female presenting
0:07
with a painful new lump in her left breast negative mammogram
0:10
two months prior.
0:12
So, you know if it was a negative mammogram two
0:15
months prior you could you could consider going straight to
0:18
ultrasound at that point. For some reason. We did
0:21
a mammogram. You'll see this triangular marker
0:24
right where she's having the lump.
0:26
You can see that she's got this prefectural saline
0:29
implant the peck goes the
0:32
saline implant is in front of the pack. So it means a prepectoral
0:35
we know it's saline because you can see through it and
0:38
you can see the nozzle for the saline infusion.
0:41
So again, she's got this
0:44
area of palpable concern indicated by the Triangular marker.
0:48
again, nothing really two
0:51
months prior
0:53
on the implant displays you there's maybe a
0:56
little skin retraction there.
0:58
So what is the next step for the
1:01
area of palpable concern on this diagnostic mammogram?
1:05
So we want to reassure her send her
1:08
for a surgical console do an ultrasound or
1:11
do a biasy?
1:13
Good, so everyone got that right great. So
1:16
yes, you always want to do an ultrasound if something
1:19
is palpable. So if that's why they have to be a diagnostic so
1:22
you can do that ultrasound, even though the mammogram looks normal
1:25
definitely want to get an ultrasound.
1:30
So right ultrasounds correct and
1:33
at 11 o'clock three centimeters. So nipple we
1:36
see an irregular hypochoic mass and abnormal
1:39
lymph node as well. Like I
1:42
said, we always look in the in the
1:45
axilla to see if there's any abnormal nodes. So what
1:48
would be your appropriate virus for this, Mass?
1:52
Notice I left Pirates five out.
1:55
So there's no confusion.
1:57
Good, so everyone's gotten that right. So you guys are
2:00
doing good here. All right, so let's keep going.
2:03
Yeah, so that's a byrid for obviously you're gonna want to do a
2:06
biopsy if if you
2:10
see it on ultrasound and Starry and
2:13
mammogram. It's better to do it under ultrasound because
2:16
what we're really going for is you want to
2:19
know if it's invasive cancer and if you do a stereo
2:22
and Target the calcification you might get dcis but
2:25
no Invasion and you may be falsely reassured so
2:28
they won't do nodes. They won't do a sentinel node
2:31
biopsy or anything like that. So that's why it's important if you see it
2:34
on mammogram or ultrasound and have the choice you want to do it under ultrasound.
2:37
So, of course this came back as invasive grade
2:40
three, you know, it always tells us that estrogen
2:43
progesterone receptors and the herd who
2:46
knew and that lymph node
2:49
with but it was positive as well.
2:52
This is what it looks like on the MRI. You can see it's sitting
2:55
right on top of her breast implant and she's
2:58
got that abnormal node.
