Number case number eight the only history
0:03
you have is screening.
0:09
We'll go the next image.
0:14
Okay, I'll go
0:17
on to the question. We can come back to the images.
0:24
Please let me go back and slide. I think we'll stick.
0:28
with the ultrasound
0:31
and then I'll flip back to the mammogram for those who are
0:34
interested to see that as well.
0:36
Excellent. Everyone got it, invasive technical
0:39
person. I'm with us static disease the excella and
0:42
it would be virus 5.
0:45
me
0:46
and so on here we have this.
0:50
Asymmetry in the upper outer in the
0:53
upper outer right breast with multiple calcifications. So
0:56
yes, there is probably a component of gcis in it. But you
0:59
know, the important thing here is this is invasive disease and then
1:02
harder to tell you can't really see the
1:05
axola the nodes that well on the mammogram, but
1:08
when they have the ultrasound we see that the regular Mass
1:11
with a feeding vessel hypocope with
1:14
posterior shadowing.
1:16
And then when we look at the axilla, we see
1:19
this lymph node that has a hypocrine cortex,
1:22
but we see that the cortex is thickened. So
1:25
the normal critical thickness is three millimeters and it's up
1:28
to eight here and it's vocally you can see here. It's probably about
1:31
normal and so focal thickening and here you
1:34
can see characteristic rat bites kind of where the cortex
1:37
is going into the highlands the highlands the
1:40
epigenic area. The hypocratic area is the cortex you
1:43
can kind of be spoke a little it looks like someone's taking a bite
1:46
out of the Highland and this is very concerning for metastatic disease
1:49
versus if it was uniformly thickens,
1:52
you think more something systemic reactive thing like
1:55
that. So very good and of course this, you
1:58
know is a cancer right? We don't even have to question that
