The craziness of the past week has settled down and #Breastradpath with @LizaMQuintana is back with Case 4!
53 yo had a screening MG. Maybe some new calcs or distortion in rt breast (arrow, 3D not shown)? #radres #radfellows -which images would you want during diag work-up??

She returned for diag work-up. Common diag w/u is mag views for calcs and tomo spots/90 for poss AD. But we decided to start with #contrastmammo & use enhancement to triage. What do you think? Based on these images alone, does it change your level of concern???? Ddx??
Rather than showing you other diag images, which weren't that helpful, I'm showing the US. Could this be a correlate??? Does it change your level of concern?? Ddx??

1/ Let the tweetorials begin for our #breastradpath series with @LizaMQuintana! We're starting with the basics of screening mammography for #BCAM
Each screening mammo has 4 images-2 of the right breast and 2 of the left. If any abnormality is seen then we get more images

2/ There are 2 main areas on all mammograms - white areas are glandular tissue (part of breast that makes milk, yellow on image) & black areas are breast fat (blue). All women have both but in different proportions #breastdensity
3/ Check out what this looks like on the pathology slide. And just to give some definitions: adipose tissue=breast fat, terminal duct lobular unit=glandular tissue, stroma=supporting structure of breast #Breastpath

Patient returned for diagnostic #contrastmammo which confirmed focal asymmetry (blue arrows) & showed non-mass enhancement (NME) on recombined images (yellow arrows). US showed correlate. USG core done and post-MG confirmed target (yellow arrows).
Calling all breast docs, what is your differential diagnosis? BI-RADS? Next steps??
