Do the earlier mammograms change your interpretation of the recent findings?


Of course you changed your mind: close to the fibroadenoma already identified there is a newly developed mass, which indicates that further investigation is urgently required.


Ultrasound


Between the inner quadrants of the left breast there was a microlobulated mass measuring 6 mm and disturbing a Cooper’s ligament (Fig. 77.5). This mass also showed increased peripheral vascularization (Fig. 77.6).


MR Mammography


Solitary hypervascularized lesion in the lower inner quadrant of the left breast (Fig. 77.7) with adjoining intraductal tumor component within a milk duct (Fig. 77.8).


Spot compression mammography, left breast (MLO)


Spiculated, highly suspect lesion with internal calcifications (Fig. 77.9). Additionally, fibroadenoma with regressive changes.


(Note: This lesion showed no enhancement in MRI.)


Procedure


US-guided core biopsy.


Histology of the specimen


Invasive ductal carcinoma, G3.
