Okay, next case. Oh, well, it's related case.
0:04
So 42 year old comes in for a
0:07
screening mammogram. What's the appropriate buyer ads?
0:10
Sorry for the old this is very old images, but
0:13
you get the point of the finding.
0:16
I think when I move my poll box.
0:24
So, you know, this is a little controversial but
0:27
technically this is a chew but you want to put something in your
0:30
report that this is that you know, they need to have some underlying systemic
0:33
disorder like well, let
0:36
me get to the next question.
0:40
So I'm not gonna even open this up but like
0:43
lupus HIV and flammatory
0:46
diseases can cause this and Dilantin as
0:49
a drug that can cause this but breast cancer should not
0:52
cause bilateral axillary lymphatinopathy.
0:55
It should really cause unilateral so
0:58
breast cancer would be least likely
1:01
cause of this appearance, but certainly, you know
1:04
for bilateral axial lymphadenopathy. It's usually something not breast
1:07
cancer, but it doesn't mean it's not important. This could definitely be lymphoma.
1:10
So often it requires just a conversation with
1:13
the doctor who ordered it.
1:15
You know, I looked through their chart. Sometimes I know they have shrogans or
1:18
rheumatoid and that would explain it. But I'll
1:21
put that in my report. But otherwise you want to make sure that's not
1:24
lymphoma, but it's still a two, you know,
1:27
even if you saw this and the patient really didn't have anything then I
1:30
would kind of be a call to the doctor. We could always sample one
1:33
of them if they you know, didn't have anything identifiable and
1:36
you wanted to make sure it wasn't lymphoma. But you
1:40
know, it's not breast cancer.
1:43
To believe likely causes not breast cancer. So these
1:46
are some bilateral x-ray lymph node causes. Like I said systemic disease
1:49
is like sarcoid mixed knesset tissue
1:52
disease granulomas is easy might see some horse calcifications
1:55
in them. Also lymphoma early
1:58
leukemia can certainly cause this and drug reaction from
2:01
Dilantin in the classic cause
2:04
but unilateral axialympadinopathy you
2:07
want to make sure like I said that it's not primary breast cancer with
2:10
ipsilateral spread and also infection or
2:13
granulomitous disease can cause that
2:16
or an extra capsular silicone leak, but that would usually
2:19
be like a high density lymph node.
2:23
Okay, great.
2:25
Moving on so, you know
2:28
axial lymphadenopathy some suspicious features you're going to have
2:31
they're going to be large you're gonna have loss of the normal fatty hilum.
2:34
You may see calcifications. It's always better evaluated with
2:37
ultrasounds the one and back you might want to call them. But when in doubt you might
2:40
want to call them back for an ultrasound.
2:45
Okay, so this is another case. I'm gonna
2:48
withhold the history.
2:50
But take a minute and look at this.
2:55
What causes this appearance?
3:00
So it will open.
3:05
This is gonna be radiation mastitis breast cancer
3:08
or gynecomastia.
3:11
Good, so everyone got that right? So yeah, this is flame shaped kind
3:14
of a mastia and you know
3:17
if it's a classic gynecomastia case on physical exam. It doesn't
3:20
even need a a mammogram. But
3:24
if you do you're what would
3:27
your buyer ads be?
3:31
piece on this
3:33
Good, you know so it's not negative because there is
3:36
a finding so I typically, you know reserve a negative for a
3:39
true negative study. This is a guy and he's
3:42
definitely got gynecomastia. He has a finding so
3:45
that I think this is a two I mean, it's not
3:48
it certainly benign or you know, so but
3:51
technically would be a two
