1 m.0:01
Okay, uh, in this case we have a, uh, 50-year-old male who
0:06
is presenting with palpable findings in both breasts.
0:11
Um, in this case, uh, at our institution, uh,
0:15
for male breast imaging, we start with standard
0:21
full-field digital mammography or 2D exams.
0:25
In this case right away, uh, we can see that there's
0:28
a lot of glandular tissue in both breasts, um, which would
0:33
fall under the, uh, diffuse pattern of gynecomastia.
0:36
As you remember, there are three
0:39
patterns: nodular, dendritic, and diffuse.
0:42
And this would be considered the diffuse pattern,
0:44
which looks almost like a female, uh, breast tissue.
0:49
In this case, um, he did go on to have some
0:53
tomosynthesis, um, looking, um, just a little
0:56
bit on the left-hand side as the interpreting,
0:58
uh, radiologist wanted to get a little more
1:01
information there, and as we scroll through,
1:04
we see that pattern looks very much like female
1:07
breast tissue with a normal scattered glandular
1:11
sort of appearance.
1:13
Same thing is true on this left CC spot view,
1:16
um, showing, um, very typical, uh, glandular
1:20
type breast tissue, um, with no focal findings.
1:23
So this patient can be reassured.
1:25
They have benign, diffuse bilateral gynecomastia.
