Next we have a 40 year old female with a
0:03
strong family history of breast cancer presenting for a
0:06
screening Mr.
0:07
This is the only image.
0:12
I will go to the question.
0:16
And a hundred percent of people correctly answered lineal
0:19
linear ductal enhancement. So let's
0:23
think there's a second question. Let's do the second
0:26
question and then we will go back to the images and we will
0:29
talk about it.
0:32
All right, and people questions see people answer
0:35
details and IDC and the correct answers DCS and
0:38
we'll go back and discuss it as they said in a
0:41
minute, but what's the next most appropriate step given
0:44
the findings?
0:46
And Mr. Guided biopsy 20% of you answered correctly
0:49
is emerged biopsies and let's go back and
0:54
look at the images. So what you're seeing here is you're seeing a duct
0:57
emanating from the nipple. It is definitely linear enhancement
1:00
in a ductile distribution. And then at the
1:03
end you're seeing some non-math enhancement that signifies probably
1:06
since some more abnormality in
1:09
the lobule. So you're seeing a lobulous like a
1:12
whole segment segmental ductal enhancement.
1:15
um, this has happened mnemonic for dcis now the
1:18
decision on
1:20
what's biopsy
1:22
The decision on what to biopsy is done
1:25
based on what modality you see it on the best.
1:27
So we see the ductile enhancement on MRI.
1:31
So we would biopsy it on MRI.
1:34
You know it the Assumption here is they've
1:37
already had a mammogram and an ultrasound that were normal for them
1:40
to go undergo this MRI or a mammogram. That
1:43
was normal. I should say ductile and non-math enhancement.
1:46
We don't do a second look ultrasound for second. Look ultrasound
1:49
after Mr. Are really best for math enhancement or
1:52
other abnormalities like abnormal lymphos, but when you come
1:55
to non-math inductile enhancement, it's not very likely
1:58
that you're going to see something on ultrasound. So we tend to go
2:01
straight to Mr. Guided biopsy on that.
2:03
So the differential for linear ductile handsome
2:06
are on MRI is decis papilloma and
2:09
fibrocystic change. So just because it's
2:12
linear ductile enhancement doesn't necessarily mean it's dcis,
2:15
but it's the most it's one of the things in the
2:18
differential it was the only choice from this differential in our question,
2:21
but you can also see papillomas or papillomatosis look
2:24
like this and you can even see not quite this
2:27
This image probably would never be fibrocystic change.
2:30
It could be papillomatosis, but sometimes fibrosis to change you
2:33
can see some linear ductal type enhancement as
2:36
well.
