-
Breast Mass:
Standard cranio-caudal and medio-lateral oblique
mammographic images demonstrate marked breast atrophy,
more notable on the left side.
-
Ductal
Adenocarcinoma of the Breast: 50-year-old white
female, placed on hormone therapy. Question of left breast
fullness, with two palpable left axillary lymph nodes.
Only a simple cyst seen on mammography - confirmed by
ultrasound. However, MR showed enhancing focal mass with
additional diffuse infiltration in a patient with negative
mammogram.
-
Ductal
Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS), Comedo Subtype: In the
superolateral aspect of the right breast, there is a 3 x 3
cm area of extensive branching pleomorphic calcifications.
Additional benign dystrophic and vascular calcifications
are also present.
-
Ductal
Carcinoma In Situ: The mammogram demonstrates multiple
minute pleomorphic calcifications scattered throughout the
left breast, predominantly in the central inferior aspect.
The findings are highly suspicious for malignancy.
-
Extravasated Silicone: The right mammogram
demonstrates a subpectoral silicone implant. There is an
extensive amount of high density material in the axilla
consistent with globules of extravasated silicone.
-
Granular
Cell Tumor of the Breast: 47-year-old female with
palpable mass in the left breast x three months. Mammogram
showed spiculated mass identified in the upper outer
quadrant of the left breast with associated architectural
distortion corresponding to palpable abnormality.
Pathology showed granular cell tumor of the breast.
-
Hamartoma
of the Breast: The left breast is enlarged secondary
to an enormous mass of mixed density, displacing normal
breast parenchyma to the superolateral aspect of the
breast.
-
Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma: The mammogram
demonstrates a 1.5 cm. rounded mass with spiculated
margins and a small "comet tail" in the central inferior
aspect of the right breast. No associated calcifications
are seen.
-
Infiltrating
Ductal Carcinoma of the Breast: Retrospectively, a
dominant mass with spiculation can be recognized on the
study of 6/26/91, with gradual increase in size and
density. Although the mammogram of 5/16/94 was incorrectly
read as no evidence of malignancy, the new palpability of
the lesion should have prompted biopsy.
-
Inflammatory Carcinoma: A biopsy of this woman's right
breast following the 8-21-95 mammogram revealed invasive
ductal carcinoma, inflammatory type. Dermal lymphatic
invasion was prominent.
-
Intracystic Papillary Carcinoma: The mammogram shows a
3 x 2.5 cm lobulated, circumscribed mass in the right
breast. The breasts are otherwise mostly fat replaced. To
ensure that the radiographic finding corresponded to the
palpable abnormality, a metallic BB was placed in the
region of palpable abnormality.
-
Lipoma:
In the central inferior aspect of the left breast, there
is a 10.5 x 11.0 cm fatty mass partially circumscribed by
a thin capsule. Three calcifications of fat necrosis are
associated with it. The mass displaces the adjacent
parenchyma superiorly and laterally.
-
Medullary
Carcinoma: Bilateral mammograms obtained show a 1.7 cm
lobulated mass in the superior aspect of the left breast
on the MLO view only.
Microlobulated Ductal Carcinoma In Situ: There is in
the central and slightly superior aspect of the left
breast a 1.5 cm mass that correlates with a clinically
palpable finding. The margins are microlobulated
suggesting a high suspicion for malignancy. There are no
associated microcalcifications.
-
Multifocal Ductal Carcinoma of the Breast: Multifocal
ductal carcinoma in situ, micropapillary and cribriform
types - low grade. Focal lobular carcinoma in situ.
Fibrocystic disease with atypical ductal epithelial
hyperplasia and papillomatosis.
-
Radial
Scar: In the superolateral aspect of the right breast,
there is a 3 cm area of architectural distortion with
peripheral spiculation and central lucency. There are no
suspicious calcifications associated with it. The finding
is optimally visualized on the craniocaudal and true
lateral views.
-
Radial
Sclerosing Lesion: A small irregular density with
subtle architectural distortion is present on the
craniocaudal view in the medial left breast. A diagnostic
mammogram (repeat views with spot magnification) confirms
the presence of a 7 x 5 mm irregular mass with
architectural distortion in the inner central left breast.
-
Sclerosing Adenosis: An excisional breast biopsy
revealed sclerosing adenosis, with florid ductal
hyperplasia. No malignancy was found.
