So we're moving on to the next case and you can see here on
0:03
the left is the screening mlo image
0:06
from the year before and this is the current
0:09
screening mammogram image.
0:12
This is a 70 year old woman.
0:15
Who is just like I said undergoing screening mammogram?
0:19
So take a look at these images.
0:23
also show you the
0:25
CC
0:27
Okay. And again, this was the this is the
0:30
current.
0:32
screening mammogram
0:34
image and the one-year prior
0:37
and I'm going to show you all four.
0:42
Okay.
0:43
So please show the polling question
0:46
for this exam.
0:49
Okay. So after you've reviewed these images, what would you
0:52
like to do with this patient? Would you like to bring her in for
0:55
a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound of the
0:58
right breast and axilla or just look only
1:01
at the right low axilla?
1:04
Or do you think this all looks fine and you just have her go
1:07
back to screening or would you recommend an MRI
1:10
off of the screening exam?
1:13
Great. Okay. So all of you want
1:16
to bring this patient back and look at those axillary
1:19
lymph nodes and some of
1:22
you also want to look at the right breast. So that's perfect.
1:26
Okay, so we
1:29
called her back and
1:32
let me pull up.
1:35
The ultrasound images so we
1:38
actually I'm just going to show the ultrasound images. Those are
1:42
what are most useful Okay, so
1:47
We looked in the axilla and we found these two
1:50
areas.
1:54
and went ahead and
1:56
we're planning to do a biopsy.
2:00
Now, this is not a polling question. So, let's see.
2:03
Maybe we can have people.
2:06
Vote in another way, but I want to know was was there
2:09
any other area of the breast that you wanted
2:12
to look at?
2:14
Based on that mammogram. Let's see. I've got
2:17
one.
2:19
right upper outer quadrant
2:22
So you probably are looking at this great anything
2:25
else?
2:28
I'll just give it a moment and then I'll move on to.
2:32
What happened in this case? Okay, so I am just going to move on
2:35
so this
2:37
so when we brought this patient back all we did
2:40
was look at these lymph nodes. We didn't think there was anything else in her
2:43
breast and on the day of the biopsy the
2:46
patient actually said, well, what about
2:49
this area and the
2:52
inferior aspect around my nipple where I've had this discoloration
2:55
and skin thickening.
2:57
So despite having some new symptoms from her
3:00
breast. She hadn't mentioned them to anyone and including for
3:03
the screening mammogram. So
3:07
She mentioned this at the time of the biopsy so we went
3:10
ahead and looked.
3:12
At this area with with ultrasound and we
3:15
found this mass that was partly going up
3:18
into her nipple and extending in inferiorly into
3:21
the underlying breast tissue.
3:24
So I thought this
3:26
Was an interesting case it's a very subtle.
3:29
Change the two things. I want to show are.
3:34
I'll just go back and show.
3:36
the comparison images again
3:39
So I think this is a very subtle finding but you
3:42
can see there is a little bit of skin thickening and retraction.
3:47
right behind the nipple
3:50
This was the most recent exam.
3:55
That we did not appreciate.
3:57
Right there.
3:59
The other thing I thought that was interesting about those cases just
4:02
to show
4:05
How we biopsied this?
4:08
So there again is the mass we felt it was coming down into the breast
4:11
tissue there. So that's what was targeted and I'll just show you
4:14
the
4:16
there's a lymph node biopsy and then there's where we biopsied under
4:19
the nipple.
4:23
So this ended up being a papillary carcinoma that
4:26
arose in the nipple and metastasized to the
4:29
lymph nodes.
4:31
And I'll just show you.
4:34
I think the best image on the MRI is the MIP.
4:37
You can see this marked enhancement at
4:40
the base and extending into the nipple very asymmetric with
4:43
the other side.
4:45
And again, this is the the right side and then
4:48
you can see those.
4:50
lymph nodes up there
