Okay, moving on to the next case.
0:04
okay, so this is a
0:09
These images here from a 38 year old woman who noticed a
0:12
right breast lump in the shower about a month ago
0:15
a little bit achy, but not particularly painful
0:18
or Tender on physical exam.
0:22
the
0:25
nurse practitioner
0:27
who she saw really didn't feel much maybe a
0:30
vague mass at 12 o'clock.
0:34
Notably the patient has a
0:37
fairly significant family history in multiple maternal
0:40
relatives. So maternal Aunt maternal
0:43
grade and maternal grandmother great-grandmother. Her mother
0:46
did not have any history of
0:49
breast cancer and actually had been tested for the bracha genes
0:53
and was found to be negative.
0:57
So again, this was a right palpable Mass.
1:00
I'll just
1:02
show you the
1:04
right side here.
1:07
So there's the BB and you can see she's very dense, and there's
1:10
really nothing.
1:12
very visible on the 2D mammogram
1:19
And there's the mlo.
1:23
We did do tomosynthesis. So I will.
1:27
So again, we're going to be looking up in here. That's where the symptom.
1:31
The lump is hopefully this will load.
1:36
Okay, here we go.
1:40
You can see maybe there's some an oval Mass
1:43
there.
1:49
But really not seeing much.
1:54
I'll show the CC Tomo.
2:00
Okay, again, we're looking at this 12 o'clock area.
2:05
And there you can see these partially I would say obscured
2:08
what margins we can
2:11
see look pretty circumscribed and a dense round, Mass.
2:16
So, of course we want to ultrasound.
2:24
okay, and
2:26
I'm going to just scroll through these ultrasound images.
2:31
So here's what we're looking at.
2:33
You can see very dark anechoic portion.
2:37
Pretty well circumscribed margins and then this hypochoic portion.
2:43
and
2:45
we looked with very low flow sensitive settings to see
2:48
if there was any flow in any of these peripheral hypo
2:51
click portions, and we did not see any she had
2:54
no abnormal lymph nodes.
2:57
And here's a semi clip.
3:05
Which I think shows the characteristics of this very well.
3:09
Okay, and again, there was no blood flow in any
3:12
of those peripheral parts.
3:16
Okay, so can I have the polling question for case
3:19
six?
3:21
Thank you.
3:22
Okay. So what do you want to do with this patient? 38 year
3:25
old palpable lump?
3:27
So is it a complicated cyst to wanna
3:30
try and aspirate it?
3:32
Follow it or just go straight to YFC.
3:38
Okay, great. So everybody wants to
3:41
try to do.
3:43
some more diagnostic
3:45
stuff so
3:47
it looks like either attempt to aspirate it and if it
3:50
doesn't collapse biopsy it or just go straight to biopsy great.
3:54
okay, so what we did is
3:58
I actually was the one that did her biopsy.
4:02
And I wanted to try and aspirate it first so
4:05
I have an image here.
4:08
This is actually.
4:11
Me injecting lidocaine into the kind of capsule of
4:14
it. So I'm going to play this for you.
4:19
And I think it's really nicely shows that the anticoic
4:22
part is just kind of swirling around but you can see there
4:25
these hypochoic parts, which really aren't moving
4:28
at all.
4:34
Okay, and then I'll
4:39
and this is my after I gave the
4:42
lidocaine I attempted to aspirate.
4:47
And you can see it did get smaller but there's definitely it did
4:50
not collapse totally.
4:52
So I went ahead and did a core biopsy.
4:56
And this ended up being a triple negative
4:59
high grade.
5:01
invasive ductal carcinoma
5:03
So you all made the right choice, so I
5:06
was just going to show the MRI because I think it has some interesting.
5:11
and typical
5:14
features of high grade
5:17
Invasive ductal. So this is the t2 sequence and
5:20
not surprisingly especially given on that
5:23
given the appearance on the ultrasound. There is too bright.
5:27
material that probably represents necrosis
5:31
You can see the marker clip from the biopsy.
5:35
And the lesion is almost all T2 bright
5:38
with some areas of very hyperintense T2,
5:41
which probably corresponds to that necrotic
5:44
material. But even the tumor itself is pretty
5:47
T2 bright.
5:50
And then this is the first post contrast.
5:54
It did show some wash out and I'll just show you the
5:58
basically, it shows Rim enhancement which also fits really
6:01
nicely with the
6:03
with the ultrasound appearance
6:06
So you can see here this but the key differential here
6:09
is that this Rim enhancement here. It's pretty
6:12
smooth and uniform but here it becomes very thick and irregular.
6:17
And near the top of it. It's they're going to regular so that all fits
6:20
really nicely with the
6:22
ultrasound images
6:26
and she underwent neo-adjuvant chemotherapy
6:29
and had a complete pathologic response.
6:32
So good news for her.
